Darkness

Living in the darkness Sighing in the night Wanting it to go away Wishing for the light Everything is broken Everything is trashed Everyone was looking Watching as I crashed No one could look away Seeing what I'd done Watching me in agony Waiting to see me run Dying was easy It felt like home Darkness is my friend I knew it all along

This is absolutely amazing! I like your rhymes more than your free verse. I enjoy the personification of darkness and CAN'T BELIEVE you never have shown me any of this before! XOXO

Hi Rebecca, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
