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
