The Last Chapter

Surrounded by friends I never met
I suffocate
In the vortex of my own distress
Desires unfulfilled
Memories burned... and broken quill
The last page of the book, empty
As am I

Russell Sivey Date: 11/5/2017 5:26:00 AM Oh I felt the torment within this dim write! It's a very well-thought out poem, and so awesomely crafted that I am in awe of its incredible splendor! You poem is so distressing, and I can feel the hurt and pain especially at the end! I enjoyed this darker poem, something I would enjoy to write! Great Work Arthur! Login to Reply
