This started out as just a silly comment to my sister on Facebook. I did really like it though, but didn't really have anywhere to go with it... So, here's my attempt at turning it into poetry...
Our home fades colder
Every day without you...
Lovelorn and lacklustre,
The spiders spin shadows in the dark of this dying house.
Emptiness piles higher,
Higher, in the corners -
dust
so
thick
it
chokes
the air,
chokes the last breath
the last
of life.
Vestiges fading, trailing, torn,
tattered curtains silent to the floor -
Listless mourners, these sentinels.
Despairing,
Watching in sorrow.
Decaying with it all.
Are we trapped in it yet, in these frozen depths?
Corpses of the sea -
Suspended.
Come back and save us. For the stillness grows.

There is a feeling deep inside
ReplyDeleteas dreary as a winternight
It darkens all my pride
and drives away the light
There is a feeling in my soul
it feels marooned and far too cold
I stand alone to face the wheel of time unfold
Darkness falls inside of me
and the sorrow's growing day by day
And though my life's a broken memory
there's a door and there's a key
Sorrow comes with silent tears
and the dawn still haunts my darkest fears
What have we both become throughout these years
There's a serpent in all tears
There is a river in my dreams
that runs so wide, that runs so deep
And by its riverine
I still can hear you weep
There is a winter in my heart
so freezing cold and utter dark
It keeps me down and tears my sanity apart
