Gone And BackA Poem by Riley BrayThe night has fled because day has dawned.The night has gone long The hurt has been deep The cave has been dank And the climb has been steep. You lay mangled in a heap on the edge of humanity And I was dragged across insanity. Your eyes were dead, your heart was dormant, Your thoughts were cold and soul was distant. You were helpless and so was I With fear and confusion embedded deep in our eyes But rather unfortunately I must say You were long gone before the light came. That night has gone long The hurt has been deep The cave has been dank And the climb has been steep. But the present is dark, past darker still Yet it has sharpened my mind and hardened my will. With my eyes filled with longing, and heart beating fast My thoughts are drenched in madness and my soul is furious. I am helpless and so were they With loss and abandonment written on wrists But fortunately I can say I've survived the darkest of days. The night has gone long The hurt has been deep The cave has been dank And the climb has been steep. But here where the tunnel ends I see a future dead ahead And maybe it will have its potholes But I have gone far and come back again.
