Poem
Death haunts like a passenger to my reverie- My reverie flows into a lake of disregard. I feel the fever of horror and blood stained sheets as the crimson salt pours from my eyes. A breath of loss chains me forevermore and I am nowhere to be held. Captivity has been my home and my arms are tired of holding my head. My feet are tired of walking a trail of loss. My stomach aches for loved ones gone in the blink of an eye. I stare into nothingness and there they are… -seemingly not staring back. Death haunts like an unwanted ghost. They fear my sorrow yet, they creep up to me in my nightmares and never bring me hope- Only a sense of wanting to die with them. Short life lived- nothing left to give. I needed a ladder so that I may reach up to where they are. I need a rope to throw a noose around their hands to bring them back down. I need a moment free from the atonement- -loss is me and I am dying. I seep of sorrow, lost in tomorrow yet in my yesterday’s there’s nothing left to borrow. Freeze my heart and crack it for ice. Spread me across the snow-capped pines and watch me melt in the warmth. I used to be warm. Now I am just cold and full of frozen icicles that never seem to fall from the roof. -love is dead…insanity instead Death haunts and I’m drowning in too deep- leave me alone and in their death... I shall keep. Dedicated to all the loved ones I've lost December 31. 2016
