40 Dark Nights

40 Dark Nights

A Poem by Mike L. Smyth

Complete darkness, nothing seen

I hold your hand, afraid to let go

Not able to recall your soft features

Thinking about your suffering brings tears

Senses are hightened, but not sight

I can't remember what's wrong or right

From the distance, something clambers

Light floods in as if to stare at the Sun

Torture engulfs me, realizing I may lose you

Our hands tighten, begging to not let go

Advancing toward the light, grip loosens

Panic sets in, hands fall apart

Everything goes numb, hope exists no longer

i liked this one.

theres not really a part that sticks out to methough
but the last line does do some justice.

also i like the part about how hands fall apart.

This is absolutely beautiful.
It's so real it made me panic as well...
Goosebumps, in fact.
Well done.
