Interpret this as you like... what's  really in it I don't think I even know.. just words that flowed from my fingertips.

Darkness failed to grab me last night
It's comfort that I've become used to slipped away from my grasp
Leaving me lonely in the night with my tears.
I no longer listen for the pounding chords of its music bekoning my name
For it is always echoiong in my ears now...
Always calling,
Always beckoning for a new slave to cross over.
Words whispered in the wind I think are what saved me
Or the tiredness of my aching eyes that just longed for the sleep that did not come.
But the shadows are still around
I could return to their world, their comfort
But I would just end up crying more tears to quench its undying thirst.
It longs for blood too...
But this I will not give, seeing as it makes too big of a mess.
Perhaps I wish to stay in the arms of Darkness,
Perhaps I wish to forever return..
Perhaps to fade away forever from all in the 'normal' real world
Wishing to end it all in a way,
And pay penitence to a different lord.
But perhaps I seek something I will never find,
Some strange comfort in the shadows
And in the thought of never being seen again...

a good poem, but ah, so depressing. *wipes tear from her eye*

but naw, no one wants you to disappear! I think I remember you saying that. lol, I'm sorry, I'm a little bit distracted by the snow on the ground behind me. but it was a very good poem, even in my distracted state!

If someone said, "Write a sentence about your life," I'd write "I want to go outside and play."

Wow, this is so sad...

There's something about the darkness that's comforting, though.  I hope one day, you find that also

*hugs*  Thanks for sharing this with us.  Very well-written.

I liked this one very much!!  It's depressing, but I like that kind of poetry because I feel like I can relate to it so well.  I interpreted it as if you sometimes feel that depression can be better than a normal life, because your hidden from the rest of the world.  This was very well written.  Great job on this!!

I think your title fits this poem very well... it's raw emotion mixed with confusion. It's too bad that whenever we're lost we always hide away into the darkness for comfort, but it's something we shouldn't do to often for the dark is just as powerful as the day. Great poem! Go outside n play in the sun!!!
