In the space between moments

0 posted 1999-09-01 09:11 PM


The path of the future seemed so ominously dark,
Clouded by gut wrenching, painful visions of loss.
Splashes of glimmering ruby prematurely left their mark,
As I silently contemplated what our tomorrow's may cost.

As the blackness bled poison into the depths of my soul,
I loathed the heavens above that bound me to such grief.
Time began shredding my world, I felt it scratching below,
And all I wanted was to fade away, to have eternal relief.

The thought of loosing you engulfed my raw, heavy heart,
For I had never known a love so joyfully vivid as this.
Fate had planned us to be as one from the very start,
But I feared the demons of change would destroy our bliss.

Just when the pain had almost smothered my will for life,
The clouds shrouding my vision broke to reveal twinkling light.
A silent song spoke volumes, melting away the worst of my strife,
And I know that whatever befalls us, we will survive the night.

Alwye, Nice job here expressing emotions of deep pain, glad you found survival to be close at hand.
