Hiding in Sin

Folder: 
God (Inspired by)

In darkened corners,

my feet stumble

as I hide from the light.



I wallow in seclusion

when you were

seeking me,

whispering that you

found me before

I ever went missing.



It was all my fault.

I heard the ghosts

in cobwebbed crevices

and obeyed them

although they had

nothing to offer.



My feet find

the strength

to move back to you.

I like this poem very much - it tells a story in a compact manner with fine imagery.
