Return to Darkness... (Free verse) by loneshadow29
Truth strikes home once more
Of loneliness everlasting
Thrust deep into the tattered heart
Of this lost and lonely soul
So much pain has the shadow suffered
Too much loss to bear such sorrow
This lowly poet has fallen into shadow
Once more, never again leaving
His dark and final resting place
No happiness shall ever find him
Nor love ever to call his own
Forever shall he lie in utter ruin
Endless atonement within the hell
Of his very own creation
As the shadow lies grieving at his plight
A prayer fills his tortured soul
A prayer long since forgotten
Begging for release from this pain
From his unending suffering
To silence those venomous voices
And to end his agonizing heartache
May death finally bring him home
To the place where shadows roam
Where he may finally find peace
After an eternity of turmoil...
