dark falls upon mankind
moon glistening upon the water
a pale face
long black hair flowing in the breeze
red lips the color of crimson
eyes dark as night
theres no life in them, just a cold stare.
below the surface where no one can see
a heart so desperately in pain that just upon the surface
fresh wounds havent even begun to sink in.
blinking back tears she thinks of ending it all
what good is life when all you can feel is nothing.
she feels abandoned and alone
her heart has been broke over and over.
raped of all emotions and love she used to feel.
darkness enveils her
her heart turns to ice
all emotions turn to hate
with the dagger she points, is this her fate?
thrusting it in she looks at the dark sky
blood drips slowly from the handle
as life as she knew it drains out of her
till just like her life shes nothing.
silently gazing at the moon
emotions overtaking every inch of her body
a soft sigh silently touches her lips and she slowly exhales
a feeling of loneliness and depression overwhelms her
like a bad dream where shes chasing something shell never find
and emptiness is all she knows
she looks for it in faces and hopes for it in her heart
day in and day out she lives in fear that she
will forever be alone and never know true love
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond's glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.
A chilling silence. A world of violets. My breath materialized again.
Immaculate. Inanimate. A comfort cutting time I see... a string of white
lights. Forever walking through December. Forever longing for a sign of
life, a bringer of light. Forever wandering together through a world of
violets. Ice everlasting. A full moon casting a purple veil enshrouding all. I
perambulate, somnambulant. A solace piercing time I see... a string of
white lights. If only one for night, if only for one night, if only for one
night remember. If only for one night, if only for one night, if only for
one night together.
