When Darkness Falls
Folder:
Secular Poetry Darkness falls and the cold winds blow
Sheathing my heart in walls of ice-
O wretched dark,
Take not my heart from me
For alone I shall not survive the night.
A silent scream issues from within-
Searing my soul, this blackened night
Caresses my skin, kisses my lips
Shattering my fragile inner core.
I lie awake on this bed of stone-
Time slips slowly from out my reach
As I fade from sight and out of mind.
I love this poem, it's so well written, definitely another one of my favorites.
