Longing for a glimps
of days gone by.
Desiring the past,
yet here in the now.
So much pain,
so much torment.
All sorrow,
all lies.
Happiness is in the days,
the days gone by.
Nevermore,
and too hard to repeat.
My future may be bright,
but our past
is dark as hell.

"My future may be bright,
but our past
is dark as hell."

The story of my life.. *hugs* I love it. It's meaningful, but it's got some attitude about it. Or something like that... I'm delirious... lack of sleep can do that to you. Or perhaps it was the 5 cherry icees I drank tonight at work.

Love,
Me

By quiet hands that
Tug life(color) out of her.
Gnawing edges round
Into a broken(satisfying)

The past is dark because everything we've ever done follows with a shadow - good or bad. Don't look at is as a bad thing. Sometimes the darkness needs to be there in order to remind us that we *are* human.

Short but sweet so that's all good, Ti. I enjoyed the read and I sincerely hope things look up for you soon. Stay strong you.

"Happiness is in the days,
the days gone by.
Nevermore,
and too hard to repeat."

That reminds me and affected me the "most" throughtout the poem;

Simply written with a lot of thought, I liked it. Hope all is well, Ti.

"My future may be bright,
but our past
is dark as hell."

First off.... thank you, to everyone, for your splendid replys. They mean a lot to me. Right now, dealing with a lot... I have mood swings.... and at times... they get dark. Undetstandably, but... that's where the dark poetry comes from....

This is by far one of my darkest... one I'm coming to love. What's interesting.... is... my favorite lines I might at... often get interpeted differently then I the poet originally planned. Let me show 'em again...

My future may be bright,
but our past
is dark as hell.

By dark as hell.... I'm reffering to the past being unseeing, unclear, unattainable. The past with all it's ups and downs, at times seems brighter then the present, yet it cannot be grasped... it's dark as hell, and no hand can reach it. Yet, the line was interpeted as saying the past was dark as hell.... which I easily and might have meant. Who knows? Just thought it was itneresting.
