This Dreary Night

As dark thoughts

Come to my mind

On this dreary night

Shunning the past

 Of bad memories

As I toss and I turn

To nightmares

And muffled screams

Mental anguish it seems

Too much depression

After midnight

 Is filled with

Broken dreams

And shattered lives

As dark thoughts

Come to my mind

On this dreary night

Nightmares of a brutal past haunt many woman that have been abused by someone from their past..I was but can take those now it is the memories of a love from when I was 20 that I ache for and dream about..it tortures the heart and the mind..guess we all have been in that same bed..luckily not together..God bless..Valentine

The overall feeling of this poem saddens me, but that's not a bad thing at all. I like the way the poem takes you to this scene of you tossing and turning, living with your mind in the dark. That's the time when many things come back to haunt one...when all is still and nothing is their but your mind to remind you of things you wanna forget. Very deep poem! I enjoyed it! Excellent job! =D

A great poem! Been there and went through it!
Days of despair are bad enough but oh, those dreadful dark nights....... Yet through it all one must always remember tough times never last but tough people always do!
One must either conquer their fears and despair or it will conquer you!
Great artistic writing, felt your pain through it!
