Darkest Part Of Me

Darkest Part Of Me

A Poem by Ashley Campbell

"

On a mountain, standing tall.
The rocks beneath it soon will fall.
Fall to a place of hopeless dreams...
Fall to a world of misery.
Deep inside I thought I knew,
It was only you...
Who would carry it through.
But again you failed me...
And this mountain fell to the earth.
Its pride and glory shattered.
Replaced with broken pieces of a hollow heart.
Left to restart in a place full of nothing.
How can you breathe with this smoke in air?
How can you smile with the blood in your hair?
Your eyes.
They tell nothing of the battle in your soul.
You smile.
It tells nothing of the plans you'll unfold.
And though I try and gaze through you...
Against my will I carried through.
I stood alone upon a hill,
Overlooking the bleeding soul I held...
My heart had long lost it's ability to love...
My mind still thinking of a God above.
I stand alone.
And afraid of what is to come.
Still looking in the mirror...
I can't even see you anymore.
Lost all faith in the thing I have become...
Still drowning slowly in the lies.
Love is all around me,
But this veil of darkness refuses to lift.
The light so far away from me.
Still standing.
Why?
..........
And in the end...
I've failed again to see.
I've allowed myself to bend...
To the darkest part of me.
