tears in my soul

In the dark of my soul

I sit listening to the sound of my teardrops

As they fall from my eyes filling the cracks in my

Breaking heart

 

Dark thoughts circle above like ravens waiting 

To rend and tear my spirit when i give in and 

Stop fighting

 

I try to stand

And the darkness whispers why?

My breath escapes me and i fall to my knees

Crying afresh

 

I pray for light and love

Knowing there is none

A cold wind chills the air

And a little more of me

Gives up

Just as decay of the body follows death 

Decay follows the death of hope

And more of my soul crumbles to dust

 

Rain begins to fall

And the tears of heaven join my sorrow

Darkness draws in and with it sleep

And i rush in to its warm embrace

To escape the nightmare that haunts

My every waking moment

Per chance to wake in the dawn and find

That this was nothing but a cruel dream

This is very beautifully writ but I must disagree on some points

I don't believe there is truly a darkness in our soul. The soul for the most part is untouched. It knows how all this human life ends and what we go back to. Everything was pre set we are meant to go through those dark days and those lighter days and those hum drum days just as we do. All is endured for the betterment and further education of our perfect love filled souls. Even if even slightly damaged while upon this earth once entering back into the presence of thine Father all would be gloriously healed almost instantaneously. His love is far greater than an grievance or heartbreak we feel we suffer in these bodies upon this earth. We for the most part take only the love back with us and the valuable lessons learned. I did enjoy your poem but disagree at many levels on the view. Great work, Sincerely, Melissa Lundeen.

When I wrote this I was in

When I wrote this

I was in Avery dark place

And felt all hope was gone

Time has passed

Now I'm back in the light
