Surreptitious Existence Date: Monday, 3rd July 2006 @ 10:43:58 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: slayer_015 A cool mist blankets my cowering soul, I have lost her, Where I cannot tell, My speech is choked by harsh acrid tears, I long for her tenderness, I am fearful, I am weary, I am alone. The night is black now, I am blind, Sorrow consumes me, In the void where I am imprisoned, I am solitude, I am darkness, I am alone. The youth in my veins is gone now, I am old, My mind is ancient and tormented, For I search for ghosts that are new hidden, I masochist, I confusion, I am alone. Speak softly into my ears, Whisper to me, The darkness makes the sound unbearable, In the cavernous desolation of my sequestered spirit. I pain, I slave, I am alone. My soul is bloodied and stained, Please clean my wounds, With the heaviness of my silent heart, I call for you unanswered,unheard,yet understood. I am silence, I am weak, I am alone. There will be no last long good-bye, My will is strong, I will find you again,through years,silence,tears,or death, I shall not fail, I wind, I dust, I am alone. When you wake from life's cruel slumber to see heaven's eternal light, I will find you, If you elude my grasp in life, I will sit with you there forever,my friend,my lover,my darling, I enigma, I simplicity, I am alone.
