Illuminations

This is a free verse I had pop in my head one lonely night.

Tonight brings another long, cold night on my own. Still no one is there to be with and fill this void. All that's there is the lonesome darkness that surrounds my room and heart. Hopefully sometime soon there will be someone to shine a light and fill the vast emptiness.

 

If it takes too much longer, the darkness may consume me. Leaving nothing but loneliness and misery. All I need is someone to vanquish this eternal night bringing the daylight and happiness to my heart. Until that day the void in my chest will continue to grow, slowly engulfing my soul to the point of no return.

 

All too many times I get my hopes up and see a faint candle glow through the darkness. But all too many times that light passes on out of sight. Just once I wish that light would stay and get brighter, fully illuminating this darkened world of mine. But one after the other I watch those faint lights go.

 

So many times my heart rises out of the darkness just to be cast back in. So many times it shatters on the cold cement floor beneath the darkness. For once maybe my heart could rise and have the pieces mended back together and remain permanently above the darkness in the light, comfort and warmth of love. But until that comes it lies there in the deepest depths of darkness.

All my writing comes from my own emotions. I can't write without the emotional inspiration.

This is very good as well TJ.
I like how you really put your heart into it!
