Dark Peace

I light the candles late at night

As I soon forget all my fright

With the small fire as my only light

I write this letter to you

The paper lays in front of me

Listen to the words, for they are the key
"Leaving is what you should be"
I write to your beautiful soul

Quietly, I whisper words to you

Off the paper, the words flew

Tears rolled down your smooth cheeks, too

Silently, you walk down the road

You walk to our once special place

All it is now is an empty space

Your eyes cloud over with tears like lace

Lie down as my spirit talks to you

I roam around my dead, lonely forest

When I was with you, it was always best

You were always my locked treasure chest

I loved you all the same, though

Strolling through the heavily canopied trail

All of your thoughts start to sail

You stroke a delicate flower, yet pale

It still reminds you of little petite me

You stroll down the long, narrow hallway

As you see my glide down, you beg me to stay

I cry on your shoulder as I say I would anyway

We just stand there in a heartfelt embrace

I slowly fade away from your eyes

All I'd done had just been a lie

For I had wished only to die

And in the end, my wish was granted

You sit on down in a lonely room

Only feeling the blue, sad gloom

Strolling over to seal your fateful doom

Dead you now lay on your cold, dark floor

After all this, we know it was fate

That we would have early to enter the gate

Though we should have came late

We are finally happily living a dark peace

Interesting form.. I usually see this type of rhyme in aa bb or abab form.. I rarely have seen aaab, aaab,,
it loses a bit for me in the rhyme..

"blank paper lays in front of me
I write to your beautiful soul
.....Listen intently the words are the key"
leaving is where you should go" Is the way I would probably have written if this but thats just a personal preference.. I think the story line and depth of this is good.. All your stanzas have 4 lines except for # 3...I thought that was interesting but couldn't put my finger on the reasoning.. All and all its a strong poem and I enjoyed it.. thank you for sharing Willa .. Rose
