Poor me;

Hopes darken...
that which one wishes to be..
that feigned caring,
and closed eyes somehow see..
in that darkness where I am blind..
It took me in .. long within..
and my night was bleakest then..
held me there soft whispers...
waft through what was me....
binding by velvet rings of words that could not be...

It came close to me..
close to me...
Smiles sidelong at my side,
tries by me to satisfy...
Wiry smirks hurt the worse...
those closed eyes revealed to me..
how never was I free...
save the pain..in a trade.. for all those thigs I refused to see...

I open my eyes, to find them blind..
still only darkness I see...
Threads of hope hold them bound...
And...in the end...
Who really wishes to be found?
When a lie feels so well..
against scrapes in your facade that truth will reveal..

Hey Ed, haven't seen you here in awhile.  We've missed you.  This is an awesome poem.  you say it all in this line:

"Who really wishes to be found?
When a lie feels so well.."

Powerful words my friend.  Very well done.

Edward, glad to see you back in Dark my friend.
I've missed your wonderful way with dark meandering thoughts...
Hope to see more of you  

 May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

this is excellent, so well expressed
and SO perfect for here in the dark.

 ...every moment of every day...
your still with me in every way.
every poem and song...
every rhyme and verse...
your still here...like a beautiful curse.
