SirenA Poem by Cari Lynn VaughnDeath Allure
Siren
I hear the seductive song so sweet Lured into her arms so warm and dark Death welcomes me Makes me complete Life’s end, with a kiss, leaves her mark
Why won’t this wound ever heal? Why can’t I change how I feel?
Nobody wants to be lost and lonely To have no real sense of identity To feel utterly worthless and empty Numb to the pain I am no longer me
But there is a faint glimmer of hope inside Though I feel like I’ve already died
I turn, refusing suicide’s siren call And decide to sail away into yet another day Disappointed every time that I do fall Wishing it didn’t have to be this way
