In the arms of darkness

by naaz   Nov 5, 2017


You are gone, and
I am in the arms of darkness once again.
My heart is on a pause;
I am cutting my wrists to ease the pain.

When love is lost our dreams burn,
and change colors from red to blue.
Now silence is my only friend;
along with you, happiness has gone too.

I wanted to ornate your forehead
with a slice of the moon, and dust of a star.
It is ironic they look so near,
when I have pushed you too far.

This year when you are having
a touch of spring in the snow,
Winter will kiss me very soft;
a slow death - easy come, easy go.

    This seems like a piece everyone (poet) wrote at some point in middle or high school, but despite the cliche nature, you still put a personal spin on it that I appreciated.

      Blue Jay, you are right it is cliché in nature.
      You can call it my silliness.

    Naazz, such a sad write. This really is so beautiful though. I love the way you worded each stanza, so much longing and melancholy. Lost relationships are awful, our hearts are broken, our world is turned upside down. You really have touched on this perfectly. I'm sorry you are going through this. Hugs my friend-

    A wonderful melancholic write. The beautiful tone and nice flow made it a good read. I think to will fit well instead of and in this line from the second stanza:
    'And change colors from red to blue.'

    I like the ending stanza, it has a poetic effect, it lends well to the write but I must say I got a little confused with slow death and easy go... as easy go kind of indicate rapid death.

    I enjoyed the read. :-)

    This is very sad and I hope you are ok. When love ends yes it does hurt but is it worth to end our lives? There is love out there waiting for you. All the very best Hugs
