Kind of a dark poem..guess the title gives that away...read it though, please. |
The feeling is rising again Like so many times before Just waiting for the doubt to begin The feeling reaches down to her core It envelops her And takes over her mind She feels like nothing more than a blur She wishes life could just rewind The pain is taking over She can’t see tomorrow The feeling is like a bulldozer She wishes someone would see her sorrow She can’t control what happens The darkness is taking over She closes her eyes and her world brightens As she lets the knife hover The feeling inside Is something you can’t describe Yet it’s more countrywide Than a person could proscribe Does she lay the knife down And let the red river flow? Or does she hear the sound Of a voice in the glow? Is it a dream? She feels no pain She wonders if this is all part of some scheme And if not then what’s the gain She looks into the light And sees a gentle soul She thinks of a white knight As he softly says, “It’s okay young foal” Now she’s with Him And feels no more pain She doesn’t see the scars from the metal shim Or feel the extra tears that had left a stain Her parents found her body on the floor She’d slit her wrist one too many times They didn’t know what was behind that door Now they can hear the soft chimes She sits and stares Not knowing what to think Her parents stand as a pair Not daring to even blink They watch her body leave In nothing more than a body bag Now they’re left to grieve Her mother holds a bloodstained rag Now it’s too late She never realized the truth Darkness made her see only hate Now she sees the true proof She watches her mother three days later As her body is laid to rest She sits a bit straighter When they say she was the best Her mother cries as she says goodbye And her father is silent by her side The girl watches as he starts to cry They never knew she lied She’s forever laid to rest But she doesn’t want to be She never realized the darkness was a test So now she’s trapped forever to just see Her parents mourned day after day Not knowing what they did wrong Until they both each passed away Then they each heard their daughter’s song “I have been watching all along And I apologize to you I couldn’t be strong And I didn’t give you a clue” Her parents held hands As they walked into the glow They saw their daughter in the stands And around her looked to be white snow They ran together To meet her again It had seemed like forever And it had driven them insane Now they are one Under the shelter of the glow Everything is done And they simply go with the flow |
