I Walk By

A lonely raven,
Limps past,
Clutching her,
Broken wing,
And darkness,
A Harbinger,
To her heart,
Beating out,
Poison,
Depth,
And Blood.

I see her.

A black burden,
Wearing on,
Her shoulders,
Like the night,
Demons,
More demons,
Digging deeper,
Calling death,
Calling tears,
Calling me,
To comfort.

I slow down.

Feel,
Feel the pain,
Feel the healing,
Feel the passion,
Feel the weakness,
Feel the music,
Feel the memories,
Feel.

I walk by.

I am not sure what you felt

I am not sure what you felt when you wrote this poem but every time i read it I get a different vibe.

The first time I was the one walking passed, just kept going, saw what it was and didn't stop. The second time, I watched as a figure whose face was in shadow walked by me, right passed. Didn't stop to see if I was okay, if I would live.

Im sorry if that made no sense. I loved this poem.

Love,
LovingLovelace

Sorry, but when I was writing it, I was trying to write it in a way that could be interpreted differently based on how it was read... and it worked :D!
Thank you

Thanks! I wanted to let the reader create their own phrasing, but I can see how that's confusing :P
