Darkness Calling

Torment of lingering whispers from the ones we love stray in our minds, Each tear that breaks away our flesh cracks as it streams down our face, Their warm hug that once held us tightly in the cold and lonely days faded into the wind, You stand on the bridge looking down as the ice water rushes downstream, Shattering winds shred at our skin with horrid things on our mind of their touch from the lips you once knew so well, Your eyes close as you turn away from the water...hands embraced together as you hold you heart, One last tear slipping away as you plummet fast toward the ice, The splash engulfs you, The darkness beneath calling forth your body to the bottom as you drown in its abyss of ravaging wrath, So much pain we all live in we can only try to live with it and move on.

Very sad and dark poem, Samantha. Life can get very challenging and hard at times,but we can't let it drown us into despair or destroy us in the end. We need to fight it and strive, learn to grab our wits and survive it all, no matter what. We need to learn to move on with all our spirit and might for living. Been here and there, felt this and that, going thru so much lately too, so many can relate to you write, God knows I do. Embrace life! Hugs! ;) xxxx D.
