Dark

by Ruthie   Apr 8, 2006


Dark. walls close in
air chokes my breath
silently cry out
welcome death

Alone. so long now
can't remember joy
or lights soft touch
gently playing coy

Cold. growing more
warmth of day
growing so dim
fate to play

Tears. my sorrow
pool on the floor
desperation
there's no door

Escape. there's none
my insanity all
driving me mad
my lost call

Echo. on the walls
of life before
hope faith love
I feel no more

Cry. out my pain
He can't hear
I draw away
As he draws near

Light. I'm afraid
Is that my name
Am I called
No. it's a game

Fear. Can't stay
Arms enfold
Pick me up
Vanish cold

Safe. Free at last
Not lost
found. Held close.
He paid my cost.

Hey there I know it's a bit weird. but my teacher asked me to try out one of these kinds of poems so...

    I like this style, it's weird but in a cold way lol, and the disjointedness of the words is actually really effective cause it emphasises what you are saying. Also having the one-word-sentance thingy is good cause it breaks the poem up and again emphasises the main idea of the stanza. :)
