The bright sun slowly begins to set as nightfall approaches a long winter's night is upon me thus is my life a short period of sunshine a period of warmth and happiness feelings of love fill and surround me but soon I feel the chill of loneliness as I feel the one I love slip away seeing the sun once again set followed by a long and bitter cold like icy needles piercing my skin seeing no moon overhead darkness surrounding me frozen solid by fear as I lie broken and alone praying for the day to come or for death to ease the pain inside I long for the warmth of daylight I long for release from this torment the chilling darkness of winter's night is a prison all its own without iron bars or stone walls but of sadness, depression, and loneliness these dark and harsh companions have become my jailors they have become my judges, my jury and my executioners shivering as I begin to cry tears slowly freezing upon my cheek my life as it has always been suffering another harsh and lonely winter a winter that lasts an eternity Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death. |

Wow, I am speechless, well not quite speechless but pretty close to it . That was a very emotional poem, absolutly brilliant . Probably one of the best poems I have ever read . I think I'll put this in my library . Thanks . L.of.L. Tommy .
