The Other Side

I have been lost without a place

With a heart that will never heal.

Yearning for the eternal rest,

To finally put my mind at ease.

 

Silhouettes and shadows,

Playing freely in the darkness

Taunted by the memories past.

And I'm waiting for the end.

 

Frozen in the moments,

Whispers so cold and far way

I've been screaming on the inside

Wondering if you can hear me calling.

 

Otherworldly, sinful bittersweet

Thoughts that cannot erase

I'm counting the days for you take me home

And join you on the other side.

Reminds me of a lot of things I've written over the years - I guess we're both being stalked by our own bad selves.
The key to winning the war against yourself is just knowing how to accept the fact you'll always have doubts, needs to do something you think is bad for you, things you could have done differently.
Could it be better? Maybe.
Could it be worse? Definitely.

Well done though.

A amazing poem. The powerful statements create a vision of darkness and escape.

Sometime the end is sooner then we want. A strong ending to a excellent poem.
