A Poem by Cari Lynn Vaughn
"

Death 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
