Poem
Twisting in the winds of pain Hung by unseeing hands Crying to the empty night Hope has long since abandoned me To desolation’s cold embrace Find solitude in numbness As what once brought happiness Leaches away my joy Regrets chase me Across this barren wasteland And into the shadows I fall And into the shadows I crawl And with despair I scream To deaf ears with a muted voice Safe within the shadows I squeeze my eyes closed Shutting out their world The silence and stillness Begin to suffocate me Through the oppression comes a call A bitter cry much like my own Towards her I wander Unsure of what I seek Yet searching all the same I find her lying there Amid the ruin Faint moonlight shines upon her Illuminating her battered body Peering into her eyes I find a powerful essence Silhouettes of a pain hidden She is beautiful Like nothing I have seen We approach each other Lost in the miracle A refuge in her arms An understand between us I offer my disfigured heart Trusting her to keep it Receive her precious heart Vowing to always guard it Two forsaken souls united Burning in the darkness Is our love’s fiery glow Yet this bliss of ours Couldn’t remain forever Talons of ignorance Abduct me from her side Yet I carry her heart close to me Despite their best efforts Our love wont be extinguished They imprison me Within society Just close my eyes open my mind And beside me she stands Reach through the bars of my cage Crossing lines unseen Breaking rules unspoken Risking and losing all For moments with her Her smile is a treasure Worth more than my sacrifice For every wall we conquer A hindrance remains Battle strengthens our bond Yet we are drained of hope She turns from me in sorrow She starts to walk away Fear consumes my anguished soul Quietly I walk beside her Feeling dispirited Without the words I seek Silently taking her hand If only for the last time Despite my hesitance Or maybe for it She stops before the ledge Returning to shadows with me
