Grey Area

A Poem by Adam Lain
"

Lets dine in Limbo.

"
I'm coming for you.

I can see the silhouette of your figure as it crosses the threshold, 
gleaming in an aura of faded fluorescence. 
You've sinned.
You've saved.
You've lived.

The tally of deeds, God and Devil, chalk in hand; is even on both spectrum's, leaving you in the middle.
Unprecedented, a soul being lost.
No inferno or suffering; Hell cannot hold you.
No illumination or euphoria; Heaven cannot see you.

So I did what I could, never embracing a positive or negative.
I lived, ate, slept, and dreamed; nothing more.
I dare not lie, I dare not help.
I shall leave my soul indifferent, apathetic to the world. 
I am without color and neutral in all aspects. 

I will beat God.
Cheat the cheater.
I will forgo destiny, for a melancholic eternity
...
 You won't be alone
Limbo will hold for us
infinitely

Author's Note

Adam Lain
I thought, what if the only person I ever loved, never passed on to a specific plain. Would I turn my back on everything to traverse limbo forever?

I love this piece...absolutely! I found it very dark, deep and very very interesting.

Few suggestions: In the 1st stanza, I read it as ' You've sinned, You've saved, YOU'VE lived. Also the font change in the end..the light blue one takes the attention and distracts rather than giving more impact, for me.

I truly enjoyed this piece and was taken to different highs.
