Seeking Comfort in Darkness

Seeking Comfort in Darkness

A Poem by FlatLineBeauty

The day approaches on the calander
Memories begin to flood my mind
I wish I could go back
Just to see if there was something I missed
My heart aches knowing I'd give anything
Just to go back to you
The tears flow freely down my cheeks
Remembering the last breath you took
Your spirit left leaving your body cold and lifeless
Burying my hands in my face 
My body begins to shake
A flood of overwhelming loss
The grief covers me
Like a heavy blanket
The feeling of a bowl ball
Sits on my chest 
Falling to the floor
I begin to break down
The nurses come
They try to console me
Leading me out of the room
But I cling to your bedside
Looking into your face
Please come back
Don't leave me here alone
Please
Crawling on the bed
I curl in a ball next to you
Wrapping my arms around you
Please just hold me
Tell me it will be ok
Come back
I need you
The nurses call security
They pull me out of the room 
I watch them take your body away
The grief becomes heavier
My back against the wall
I slide down
Feeling empty and broke
A feeling of weakness sweeps over
My body is limp
Like a rag doll
No bones or muscle
I sit in that spot for hours
Not able to move 
An uncomfortable sting 
Burns my eyes
A blanket of darkness covers me
Everything feels so cold
So lifeless
I go home to an empty house
I keep the lights out
Seeking comfort in darkness
Wanting to be alone
I close my eyes
Picturing your warm smile
The soft tone in your voice
The pain in my chest grows deeper
The sobs heavier
Laying on the ground breathless
Please come back
If only it were me
Not you
I would take your place
If I could
I whisper curses
Why her?
Why let her suffer?
Only to die in the end
My day turned to darkness
My summer turned to winter
Sometimes I come to see you
In the times 
When I need you most
Laying across 
Where your body would be
Sultry tears soak the ground
A cold wind blows across my back
Giving me the sensation
Of your hand rubbing to comfort me
Words from my mouth hit the ground
Wishing you could hear me
Longing for your comforting touch
Please
I need you

This is a fantastic piece WRose.. So sorrowful and powerful.. I clearly remember reaching in the casket and holding daddy's hand and my uncle grabbing me and taking me away from the viewing room at the funeral home. some things never leave us. I would like to have permission to share this piece.. xo

Another vivid journey you take me on in this powerful and capturing piece. I can't help but feel your pain.
