Broken Alley

Suddenly and without warning, down and out in Broken Alley. Mind is numb body in pain, Struck and stuck in Broken Alley. Here she comes down the hall "savior mine" to light all the dark nights in Broken Alley. Kindly she whispers in my ear "I'll ease your pain, have no fear, comfort dear." in Broken Alley. Relief comes but not for long agony sings it's heavy song helpless again in Broken Alley. Time begins it's healing powers slowly in the quiet hours, won't tarry long in Broken Alley.

I saw a lot of people in pain when I was a nurse and wrote from that perspective. Thanks for your comment!

Loved this piece...I feel the despair and hope so well within the lines. I hope you don't stay in that alley too long. I've been there too! Thanks for visiting me. Sorry I'm so late with this response. Welcome to the soup family.

Thanks for your response, Eileen! I know you are a great poet so I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's funny how I've noticed that people seem to assume a poem is about the one who writes it, this is not the case with me. Actually it's abut a hospital and I was a nurse for yrs. I am the "savior" in the poem, giving out pain meds to patients in pain. Should have explained it! Best regards! :)
