The Graveyard, My Home

I wander through the tombstones,

The mist encircling me.

I search for my lost one

Among these graves,

But I cannot find her name.

The moon shines dimly

Through the thin layers of cloud,

Illuminating the cemetery

In a neon white glow.

But the light is not enough,

I cannot find her resting place.

I know it’s here.

It has to be here!

Where are you, Samantha?

Please show me the way.

I will search through this graveyard,

Until I find you.

I will make this place my home

So I can forever be with you…

Powerful imagery that evokes a depth of emotion and pain with such loss that is unimaginable... You create such a world of sorrow as well as devotion speaking to the silence of the heart...

Very dark and sinister - the graveyard as home to be with your loved one.
Very vivid, with a lot of emotion.

Well done.

This is awesome! So painful and dark...
I liked the closing lines the most, So thoughtful they are...
Great work!
