The Woman In Black

THE WOMAN IN BLACK The lady in black is my worst nightmare She comes to me in daylight when I am not aware She has an affair with everyman But yet she comes to my life and leaves with great despair She loves me And I am afraid I will never love her back She visits me often when I least expect it I have great hate for her But I don’t know how to express it When I’m enjoying my sleep She wakes me up to reality just to see me weep She pushes me in a pool of tears just to see me sink And rapes my mind so that I don’t think Her name is sorrow And she promised that she will see me tomorrow She never breaks her promises She lives by her words I have tried hiding in many places She keeps finding me and defying me A chance of trying to escape her miseries Someone please help me, I can’t take it no more

A very powerful emotive piece personifying the power, persistence, and enigma of "sorrow" likening it to a woman in black! I admire your creative artistry, flow and imagery! Well done, Edwin! I enjoyed reading this piece. Keep churning them out! Best wishes. Pandita
