In dark of night at the wane of the day - I grieve
Cannot hear the voice that holds me to stay - believe
A night of resting but none there for me - I cry
In darkness of soul no heart victory - I sigh

Tossing and turning with sleep gone away - I mourn
Weeping the night until break of the day - till dawn
Wishing that change could come over this place - for me
Take back to myself the emptiest space - to be

All in a moment a blink in the night - life changed
And then you were gone,away from my sight - so strange
Nothing to keep you, no more could I try - I weep
Hold to the memory, wish I could die - in sleep

I pray that the morning will never come - I grieve
Otherwise pray that this grief will be done - to breathe
On wings of angels I rise, go to you - I yearn
While here in this torment I sit, I stew - in burn

Why did you go must you leave me like this? - to mourn
Lost in the darkness without lover's kiss - so worn
Waiting or watching and active or still - heart cleaved
Tomorrow is coming, I don't care till - I've grieved

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I really like this
Especially the dual rhymes,
I can hear voices reading
One the main line, three of four choirs the second rhyme.
Well done

This touches on the many facets of what is a multi-emotioned process. The rhyme scheme tempers what might otherwise be overwhelming. Well done Mith Keth!

your rhymes ROCK!!!

Teach me oh poetess Keth...does this rhyme scheme/format have a name?
VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE write girl...very cool.

It's over long before her fall from grace, she's never been this far from safe.
Trying to see where it all began, she'll never be the same again.

This is fantastic!!!! Not only have you exquisitely described a very painful process... you've done so in an incredible rhyme scheme. *S*

Now if only talent could be absorbed through osmosis, I'd sit and read this over and over all day. *S* And may do so, anyway... just to admire. *S*

This is an excellent write.
I love the style as well as
the rhythm and flow of this.
VERY nicely penned.
