Notes About The Poem

 

The day my world fell apart 

On the day I died years ago.

The Day I Died

I spent too long lost in hell
And there were so many dark stories
I'm So. Frightened to tell

 No open window no open door
Just as I thought I was winning
The battle raging in my head
Suddenly and without warning
I fell through a trap door
And hit the ground so hard
It broke my bones

Void of sunlight
Void of love
Crimson shards of a broken heart
My hopes and dreams
Torn apart

I cling on by my finger nails
But my grip is about
To slip
And the all-consuming shroud of darkness
That devours and consumes me
While strapped to a bed of nails
Never to be free

On the day I died so long ago.

Oh my! Heartfelt and strong images! Sounds like my nephew’s battle he lost 2 1/2 years ago.

So sorry for your loss. I know you'll see him soon but in a much better place. Touched my heart. Thank you, heartfelt best wishes. Pete.
