The Last Dance With The Shadows

Missing pieces of my heart
Are falling in emptiness
It’s far away to touch my pain
No one wants to listen
This grief of symphony
I wrote in the stars
They are too blind
To see the beauty

In the dark
I’m dreaming beneath the nightmares
And dying in solitude

I try to walk the path with the shadows
But they left me in the silence
And in the end I’m too invisible
You can’t find me in the mirror
My soul fades away into black

Shallow minds
Empty words through the lies
Fake smiles
Behind the mask
I am too lost in this world
Separate me from the living
It’s safe to be dead
Than to walk the same
Path with the shadows

Locked myself inside the box
Hate raped me deeply
Screams turn into insanity
There’s no air to reach liberty
This is my grave

The last dance with the shadows
Dangerous yet sweet death
No fears
No tears
Only the deadly poison I’ll drink to escape from them
Erase me, again, my demons
I am in love with misery
It’s safe to die
Than to endure the pain
Erase me from your heart,
My creatures of macabre
Set me flee from you thoughtless

The last dance
With the shadows
Dangerous wish
Yet wicked love
Torment me sweetly
Paint my skin with the scars of sin
And dig my soul
In the darkness
I feel safe inside myslef

Wonderful imagery. Just lovely. I enjoyed reading this. :)

great title! even better poem!

[Danielle Nicole]

Super deep, super powerful, very nicely done. You had such good flow through which is hard to do in longer poems. I loved it. But you did spell myself wrong in the end.

Wow this is so deep! Awesome job! :)

This is a really good piece, I enjoyed the part where you wrote " fake smiles behind the mask" Keep up the good work

Powerful, powerful loneliness here. Not even the shadows will accept the poet here, even your own reflection betrays you in the mirror as you have none. There is an absolute sense of being introvert here, reinstated by the last line 'I feel safe inside myself'. Very deep stuff.

Very nice poem. I especially loved the line:
"Paint my skin with the scars of sin"
Great job. :)
