The Way Back

The Way Back

A Poem by Firefly

My mind twists my senses,
Turns them into worries.
My heart weighs down, crushing
My love, the feeling, it will kill.
My thoughts change to paranoia.
My love changes to longing.

The gap in my chest, needs
To be filled, the crevice,
The emptiness left, grows
By the day, creating hate,
Sadness and envy, making
My worst reality penetrate
My conscienceness.

The love of another, pushes
You to the top, but buries
You just as easily.
Lies appear where there are
None, happiness leaves where
It should lay.

My trust is gone from all.
Replaced my pity and woes.
If it were not for the few who guide
Me, show me the path beyond
The darkness, i would be
Trapped here, alone, until
It claims me.

The light is far, the hope
Is distant, but within
Reach, a possible future
With an imposible ending of joy.
But it's there, not leaving.
I must push my way there, fight
Past the pain, the ache.

Just a little longer, take
The hurt, the tearing at my
Emotional ventricle, the
Prodding of my soul.
If i don't, it shall be a
Long wait before i heal,
Before my wounds seal.

Before my throbbing seases.
Then i shall claim the
Hurt as my own and
Use the pain as my
Own spirit to expose
Of my own darkness.

This was a really good piece, very rhythmic in some parts and arrhythmic in others. It flowed well and I loved the acknowledgement of hope in the final stanzas, along with the realization that, although hope is out there, you have to chase after it. A very emotionally candid and strong piece. I like it.

Wow! Very powerful and eloquently put. ;)

" Before my throbbing senses.
Then i shall claim the
Hurt as my own and
Use the pain as my
Own spirit to expose
Of my own darkness."

This ^^^ was probably my favorite stanza.
