Verge of Existence

Verge of Existence

A Poem by Tomislav Petricevic
"

Another one of my dark/fantasy story poems. I kinda imagined it as a song, too.

"

When I look inside myself, I don't see a thing,
Just shattered memories that haunt, always echoing.
When I look inside myself, all I see's a wall
That I built in disquietude, afraid that I will fall.
 
When I look inside, something's always wrong,
Like some notes are missing from my soul's song.
When I look inside, something's not right,
Like I'm loosing a battle that I with myself fight.
 
I don't know how this will end, or how long it will last,
Maybe when I'm finished erasing my own past.
I don't know why does this so much remind me of you,
Maybe because I think of all the things we'll never do.
 
So I sit alone in the corner, and darkness surrounds me still,
I'm waiting for a ray of light, repelling the shadow's chill.
But I know the light won't come, no, not for me,
And your face is the only thing left for me to see.
 
So before I close my eyes, and surrender myself to this,
I try not to let you go, because you always give me bliss.
So my soul can find its way to you, when I am finally gone,
When my body turns to dust, and my heart turns to stone.

Author's Note

Tomislav Petricevic
First thing - this one is dedicated to my friend Kurra (xSamilynnx) for reading everything I throw onto paper. You're the best! (check out her writing, people :D)
Keep in mind that this is an old poem I wrote - in fact, it is the first one. I edited some parts of it, but not many, so it may not seem like anything special.
And you need to understand the story - this poem was meant to be an epilogue for one of my books. I abandoned the work on the book, but kept the poem. The main character was supposed to be in the Realm of Darkness, after slaying Lucifer and stopping Earth's ultimate destruction. He is an unstable person; a confused individual, hence the constant "I don't know" and that stuff. And the person he is referring to is a demon woman he loved. (also, thanks to my bro Filip for making up the demon woman part of the book) I hope I helped you understand the deal behind this poem. Thanks for reading.

Hey! I absolutely love this. It really expresses how yourbinnerbmost thoughts portray how your feeling, and how people can get confused if they don't see what your mind is wandering over. I happen to be one of Kurra's close friends. She talks about you ;) You should check out what I've. Written; I'm fairly new hear so I need good reviews :) Keep writing!
