Notes About The Poem

Broken In So Many Ways

As dusk dawned
     In hushed dark solace,
          Awareness battled
Comatose.

One question, pleading:
     Terminate this torment,
          Honour this last wish,
Yearning.

Only so much love can be lost;
     Pain be carried;
          Blood be spilt...
Horror.

In muted shine,
     Deadened voices,
          Monitored beep beep,
Kindness.

Salty moist wiped away
     With mellow moves
          In a tone that provides
Humanity.

White Wolf January 31, 2017 at 7:11 AM They will one day invent a drug that will wipe out certain memories! The only one that I know of for now is 'Time'. It may not wipe them out, but it helps to fade a little! A powerful write, Duir! Darren White January 31, 2017 at 7:52 AM Thanks Budgie, I hope you are right.
