I Walk in the Dark

 I walk in the dark

Though the recesses

Of my mind

Once certain of the path

That was clearly in front of me

Now is clouded, unsure

I feel alone,

No longer a part of something

I felt was special

What happened

To the love, the sharing?

I only feel the pain of loss

The shadows of what was

Before you lit up my existence

With the light of your soul

What can I do,

What can I say,

To make it right again

I am not asking forever,

For we must live

In the here and now

I just want to return

To the security of your arms

The warmth of your love

The light of your being

 

 

Please don’t go…

I walk in the dark
Though the recesses
Of my mind
Once certain of the path
That was clearly in front of me
Now is clouded, unsure
I feel alone,
No longer a part of something
I felt was special

Lovely poetry. I like the kind of heartbreak poetry that still has that feel of what was...the love. Well done! Thanks for entering in the Missing Him, Missing Her contest.

Hey Amanda you are a wonderful writer. Movie script writers could drum up anything this good. I really enjoyed the emotions you stirred up in me. Great Great Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bhavya Kaushik]

The ending is just perfect and beautifully heartwrenching.
A reader could sense that feeling of pain and sorrow in your words.

[R J Askew]

Yes, you are clearly unsettled. The poem is a heart-felt plea for love not walk away. These lines are very poignant...
The shadows of what was
Before you lit up my existence
With the light of your soul

As is the plea at the very end. Anyone with a beating heart will know exactly how you feel here.

[Dani California]

That last line is heart wrenching. "please don't go...". The fear and sense of loss in those words truly reaches in and pulls at the heart.

I won't over comment on this, after reading your note. lol But, I do hope all is well and this was simply a release. Beautifully written Amanda.
