Dark Everlasting

by Sean Allen   Sep 20, 2004


The voice says "let go,"
but I know I won't let go.
So the words, they stick,
they're stuck, I'm out of luck,
they won't flow.

And I slow down.
I shake off your praise
as I mumble, mumble
that I'm not sweet
and I'm not being humble;
better things for better days.

You make me tremble at night.
We turn off all the lights
and then I'm all right
because you can't see
and regret.
You can't see me
so you forget.
Let the Dark last forever.

    I don't know if this poem was supposed to but it sent shivers up my spin. And gave me goose bumps. I don't know why, but it did, and this poem was amazing. I enjoyed it quiet abit.

    Last stanza, third line. You could write 'alright' instead of having it broken into 'all' & 'right'.

    Awesome poem, the rhymes in this one were pleasant to read. I liked waiting and wondering, when will it come next! Although it seemed like it was all over the place, I liked that idea. It made this poem interesting. I liked :)

    That is exactly what I am feeling right now, and it's ironic, because I couldn't put it into words... You did! It's great to be able to read someone elses poetry and know that you can relate.
