Early Morning LightA Poem by MandarinOrangesDeathly silence settles over me, a cumbersome fog obscuring all else; a thief in the early morning light stealing away every ray of hope my sickly brain may ever conger.
Eyes fluttering to full capacity, the depth of it all hits me, a brick swung full force in the face; the silence, that damnedable silence reminding me, continually, of the fact
I am alone!
Trying to move, failing in the effort, hot salty tears fighting to get out, surely they will win this battle I am always loosing. Longing to melt away, to become one with the sheets and forever escape the useless task of living.
Finally, giving into reality, I rise to face the day and all it has to throw at me. Leaving behind the saftey net of sugar coated dreams, trading them in for imitation smiles and revolting cheerfulness, I embrace,
The deadly silence of being alone. © 2008 MandarinOranges |
