OVERCOME
Within sleep, unspoken scars
All that's left are bleak memoirs
Plugged the wounds with every smile
And words kept brief
Laid to rest beneath the dirt
In a land I'll not return
Lies a corpse of hope resiled
That haunts my dreams
Ripping through the calmest scene
There's a storm that beckons me
This malice from darkness birthed
'Round every turn
In these halls that ebb and flow
Every person seems to know
The same emptiness that burns
Each gaze averts
All reasons aside
Something in me died
I'm frozen in shadow
And there's no tears left to cry
The seasons go by
Only wasted time
There's nothing of fondness
Just a vessel in the crowd
Memories of requited love
Wrapped in hemlock, drenched in blood
There's a ghost inside the fall
That screams for peace
From our stories we abstain
Grasp the rope of amnesty
Seek the future from this pain
And never cease
All reasons aside
Something sparked a fire
These embers I'll follow
'Til there's no clouds in the sky
The seasons go by
Finding paths to climb
Now my eyes are yearning
I'm diverging from the crowd

Hello,
The phrasing and word choices drew me in to read this poem. As I was reading I felt it was a bit like aiming to balance between the dark and the light. Like a juggler or perhaps a sculpture being built. Overall it has a deep sense of melancholy. Thanks for sharing!
