Alone from here on inA Poem by Rhine WolfGoing through a period when there was so many deaths around me, it inspired me to look at death from the point of one who caused or feels responsible for the demise of another. This gave me the opportunity to experiment a bit and I came up with the i
In the darkness alone I dwell
Am I lost? Have I found hell?
I see you lying there so still, so beautiful
The noon light shimmers off your delicate face
The closer I move the further you are from my reach
I start to hasten, I start to quicken my pace
No matter how I struggle, I can not cover the breach
I feel trapped, unable to move, can’t run from this place
I need to hold you, feel the warmth of embrace
Slowly I feel the pull, the calling of my name
The noon light fades, closing the invisible case
All I have left is my internal shame
“Clear!! I feel the pull again
“We have a pulse” they are calling my name
“We lost the other” for ever my shame
“He’s stabilizing” alone from here on in.
