Tracy Edwards Poet Rhyme

Numbness

~*~ 

It so cold outside, Its raining hard
The clouds are dark and grim
But no more grim than the darkness
Of the pain I feel within..

The darkness it engulfs me
It wraps around my soul
I can only wish for numbness
For this pain I cant control

Shall I write until my thumb bleeds
My hand bruised , My fingers seized
Ill carve words unto the page until it sets
Slipping back into the darkness
Yearning for a sleep with no regrets

Locked in silent madness
Infesting my mind with drowning memories 
Hoping that prose will let me find my sleep
Trying to find a dream thats mine to keep

This darkness will continue without a fight
For theres no reason for hope without the light..
