Another desolate day the sun has dipped his face No longer will I have to pretend My mind is astray lost in a shadowed place darkness has become my friend Unable to convey what I should erase this heartache I cannot mend How can I allay the pains I embrace when fear forces me to descend

Beautiful tercets Lin. I love the length of the lines and how you chose your rhyme. And the content.... I can relate to it. Hugs.

Yes! This fits exactly into a depressive state of mind! I've been there before, and hope to never go there again, it is such a dark and scary place, loneliness and sadness prevail! This is a wonderful depiction of depression, what a perfect poem with a wonderful rhyme scheme! Great Work Lin!!

there are only a few poets on this site capable of writing really sad poems, you are one of them, dear poet, rich in dark and sad contemplation

Thank you, Frederick. Although my life is blessed with light now, I spent a year in a shadowed place that was not of my making. Your compliment about my ability to write sad poems is taken to heart and appreciated. I can create some pretty silly ones, too ;-)

I found this to be exactly as titled, Lin. It made it clear to me that I do not want to stay to long!

I don't want you to even visit such a place, Mike. Thank you.

It must also be terrifying. Let's hope we never reach that point. Thanks, Jan.

It is, Anne-Lise, and I don't know how or why it took shape, but there is. Thanks.

Thank you ma'am. I hope I never find myself in such a forlorn place.
