Black Tunnel

I was the horrible outcome that anchored you down,

I was the hope that lifted your spirits from the sea, then let you go just to see you drown.

I was the tormenting voices which echoed through your mind late at night,

I was the jet black tunnel which you traveled through in hopes of finding light.

I was the past which haunted you endlessly,

I am the chapters in your story you never lived to see.

You believed each and every word I would say,

you truly believed your life would have never been okay.

I was the monster within your head,

I used to laugh because you wish you were dead.

If only you took the time to see,

then one day you would have come to find, your life would have ended happily.

Really great poem... I love the whole piece except the ending... I think the ending was a little weak but that's just my opinion... Other than that you can really feel the pain that this woman is feeling... Thanks for sharing...

I guess it does depend on the person and their opinion. For me though, I see it as we say goodbye before we could see some of the most important moments of our lives and that is what I was trying to convey at the end. Thank you for reading. :)

Honey what is this about? As I began to read I thought you were writing this to your mother who is no longer with you? Strong emotional read.. Keep writing through those black tunnels.. hugs, shallimarRose

It's about a failed relationship with a parental figure after overcoming abuse while suffering depression. Not really mom or dad in particular.

OK... thank you. Strong write..
