Words Much Like Poetry
taunting me, haunting me
her far cry irresistible
her whispers the smoke of shadows
she veils my tomorrow in dread,
tearing my soul to pieces
shredding my reason to ribbons of agony,
capturing me in a cage of despair
the ink in my word is gone
the hue in my world is gone
the shades in my world are gone
the color in my world is gone
I stumble to uncertainty,
every step the pain of a thousand cries
the tears are stuck in my throat,
my heart is denied its voice
there are snares in my path
she dogs me in the shadows,
laughing maniacally
her minions of lack hope striking at me from the darkness
I fear I shall fall
and rot in this tunnel
I fear i shall never wake,
as she owns me forever
the agony within lacks voice,
as I call for death to take me
but I know with certainty,
he will not hear me
a light that I long for is calling to me
and it seems never nearing as I go to it
it is my only salvation as she watches me succumb
and even it starts to flicker in indefinite uncertainty
