stare

07/2012

we have already burned

through the nothing

we thought we knew

another day, another way

perhaps I would have followed

but today I will rally

I will give into strength 

the demons that hunt me

have tasted bitter light

having only been in my way

now they run from me

the tables have turned

savor the misery

drowning in self reflection

has opened a passage for me

let this seep inside your demented bones

let knowledge slowly drag you back home

I know..

that this is the only way to get through

so stare, stare till your eyes burn out

This is powerful... I feel the strength that you have conveyed in this piece. In a sense it was dark, yet there was light.~

"the demons that hunt me
have tasted bitter light
having only been in my way
now they run from me
the tables have turned
savor the misery"~ Excellent write!

When two people find a bad spot to be in. No-one will win.

A guided piece, I always feel a certain sense of needing or willing within your work, well done, good read.

this reminded me of a chorus from the song Deep in the Darkest Night in the play Dracula. it goes like this


"Deep in the Darkest Night,
when there's no spark of hope,
we must be points of light
piercing the darkness.
Bright as the dazzling stars
in an indifferent sky
and in our cruelest hour when hope is gone,
we'll raise our heads
and we'll journey on!"

well done. it will take awhile for this to seep into my understanding as deeply inspired and written words do.
