Short piece of poetry

Postby lurker1.0 » Wed Feb 20, 2002 2:30 am

This is just a short poem that's been along time coming since Tabula Rasa and Willow's downward spiral. And well I dunno. Just seems to me that this poem feels like Willow would feel. Like she was drowning in everything. But yay for hope in the end.


Drowning

I fall away,
I can't hold on,
The world just seems to slip away.
There's nothing left inside since you've been gone.
Wasted space, empty, cold, hopeless.
Embracing the darkness that fills me,
I long to see your eyes,
Shinning into mine.
But still I fall.

Drowning in sorrow,
The light is gone,
A sea of blackness is all I know.
My soul fades away,
And your touch I long to feel,
But still I only know the darkness that embraces me.
Cloudy, troubled thoughts,
Hopeless devotion to lies I made true.
Truth I made lies.
And still I fall.

Falling away,
Into the darkness I am claimed.
But faintest hope I still hold onto,
And grasping out for one last chance,
You're still there to catch me as I fall.
And held up by your strength,
The love that burns in your eyes,
I see that I am not alone,
And know that you will never let me fall.
And the world is not so dark anymore.

Just seen TR... so the spiral is still to come for me... but this would do for the sitting on the bathroom floor too.

Good stuff.

Wow. That's some pretty great stuff. I found the last stanza to be the most powerful.

Great work, lurker!
