Dark Place

As snow falls on cedars,

wrapping everything in its cold,

blinding white,

this heart shatters

a million shards scatter

into emptiness and

a chasm, too wide to cross

opens

drawing me

into its embrace.

Funny, how cold and white

can be such a tempting lover,

her long finger nails

ripping at my back

as my blood

drips, drips, drips

on the bed

leaving red stains of you.

***

A candle flickers,

barely visible in this void,

and I reach out to

touch its hope.

I hear its gentle call,

then realize

its only mirage,

as snow continues to fall,

wrapping me tighter

in its cold, blinding white.

....And I’m gone.

Really awesome piece of work here. I like the cold and dark theme of sorrow that you have created. I also love to stark imagery of the piece. And don't even get me started on the song. I'm a huge fan of Evanescence.my favorite part is " this white heart shatters, a million pieces scatter". I'm glad I had the opportunity to inhale this piece.
