the ghost

 

 

 

It was not me, who put you into the dark

It was not me, who put too much hate upon himself

It was not me, who made you so imperfect

          Who choose this life for us?

                   It was you,

                             I am only a shadow in every decision.

The weak link, the forgotten will

of one’s owned heart, truly remains in the corner…

.

.

.

Simply the ghost, who whispers in total silence.

Author's Note

just getting bothered that my road for now is too dark....

"It is always darkest before the dawn."
i see in this poem one of the predilections common to self-respecting writers - that of always doubting their paths and choices. Of course, retrospect offers us a clear view of the things we've done, but that is a pointless pastime, despite the fact that we indulge ourselves in it with masochistic pleasure. All we can assure ourselves, in regard to whatever choices we made, is whether or not we were true to ourselves, true to our convictions. A great poem, RetroPax. Keep writing.

That proverb reminds me so much of my favorite song, "shake-it out by florence + machine" I have been listening to their song every since... last two years ago until now, still in my playlist. I am glad you mention that... its amazing how keen you are my friend, so thank you very much!

The first few lines reminded me of Devil's Advocate. In one of the conversations in there, the character of Keannu Reeves, i think, blamed John Milton for all the things that happened to which the latter answered back that it was Keannu who made those choices. Truly dark pax.

Thanks Gab, I think I haven't saw that movie yet... I'll put that into my watch list. :D

This is an interesting piece. It's not a really dark poem rather than it's very truthful. I also like the photograph you'd used.
