Twilight

Every twilight the nightmares are the same
Of a dug up grave with my headstone
Inviting, like the insides of my favorite dream
With a soothing feel of finally finding rest
Most times I linger close to its edge
Wishing I could jump in and let it all end
At least in that small confining space
No one would reach in and hurt me anymore

It’s a perfect way out of all this pain
That tears and self hurts don’t do well to solve
Those who pretend to care would still leave
Leaving me broken than I was before
This night I would finally let go
Putting my foot in and allow it swallow me
Because in that small confining space
No one can reach in and hurt me anymore

Emile Pinet Date: 4/30/2015 11:50:00 AM The imagery of this piece is well suited to the emotions solicited from the author one of dread with sinister reverberations. You sum up nicely how depression and fear effect all aspects of your existence. Emile.

Betty Bateson Date: 4/30/2015 11:40:00 AM Very sad write. You need to stay out of that small confining space. Life is good and you should take the time to heal and see that there is always hope. I too have felt great pain and it does get easier with time. Be kind to yourself. Login to Reply Queenette Ugochi Vitalis Date: 5/1/2015 11:09:00 AM i try to, i really do...thanks for the comment
