Twilight

Every twilight the nightmares are the same Of a dug up grave with my headstone Inviting, like the insides of my favorite dream With a soothing feel of finally finding rest Most times I linger close to its edge Wishing I could jump in and let it all end At least in that small confining space No one would reach in and hurt me anymore It’s a perfect way out of all this pain That tears and self hurts don’t do well to solve Those who pretend to care would still leave Leaving me broken than I was before This night I would finally let go Putting my foot in and allow it swallow me Because in that small confining space No one can reach in and hurt me anymore

The imagery of this piece is well suited to the emotions solicited from the author one of dread with sinister reverberations. You sum up nicely how depression and fear effect all aspects of your existence. Emile.

Very sad write. You need to stay out of that small confining space. Life is good and you should take the time to heal and see that there is always hope. I too have felt great pain and it does get easier with time. Be kind to yourself.
