The Road to Heaven

The Road to Heaven

A Poem by Kat Mandu

The empty house talks in my head

It tells me of the pain ahead

The road to heaven leads through hell

 

Separated by a wall

Different roads that rise and fall

I cannot find you, though I yell

 

The broken floor hurts your feet

Your bear the pain and don't retreat

You have more stories left to tell


I see your footprints like before

I chase and run along the shore

My hope and spirit shines as well

 

Keep on walking, all alone

Your shadow gone without a home

Fear is all the demons smell

 

Dying in this lonely place

You're here at last, I see your face

I close my eyes, we hear the bell


I keep on walking, though I weep

We'll meet again, in my sleep

Despite my fears, I do not dwell

The road to heaven leads through hell

I understand this poem. When home become a prison and the love is gone. Just a empty place with no life. I felt the emotion and sadness in your words. Loneliness is a prison. We escape from. Thank you Hannah for sharing the excellent poetry. You left a lot for the reader to think about.
