I Perish
this is another of Darker's poems that I've rewritten. Go easy please. This is also for the Re-Write Comp.
I wonder if she hears
This cone of silence?
This black emptiness
That seems to consume
Everything.
Without her my life is void
Since I tossed her away, a broken toy.
I wade lonely,
In this sea of emptiness.
The winds of swept away all
Which have made me alive.
I turn in this maelstrom
Of vast emptiness.
I just keep thinking
Of those final words
They lash my being
And cut like a sword.
I can taste your tears from here
And hear your choking sobs.
That's when I break like a wave
On those jagged rocks.
I still feel that one last kiss
You left me with a scar.
I sit sweating but shivering
Quivering
From a love lost to tragedy.
Without her my life is void
Since I tossed her away, a broken toy.
I wade lonely,
In this sea of emptiness.
The winds of swept away all
Which have made me alive.
I turn in this maelstrom
Of vast emptiness.
I wonder if she hears
This cone of silence?
This black emptiness
That seems to consume
Everything.
Without her my life is void
Since I tossed her away, a broken toy.
I wade lonely,
In this sea of emptiness.
The winds of swept away all
Which have made me alive.
I turn in this maelstrom
Of vast emptiness.
I just keep thinking
Of those final words
They lash my being
And cut like a sword.
I can taste your tears from here
And hear your choking sobs.
That's when I break like a wave
On those jagged rocks.

You left me with a scar.

From a love lost to tragedy.

Since I tossed her away, a broken toy.

In this sea of emptiness.
The winds of swept away all
Which have made me alive.
I turn in this maelstrom
Of vast emptiness.
