"Deep In The Darkness" In the darkness of this lonely soul deep deep deep with in. Sometimes drowning in my own grief. Like being buried in a grave yard hole. Tears of sorrow stream down this face. Eyes that are swollen from lack of sleep. Desperately reaching and searching for a warm embrace. I need to get off of this down hill pace. In the darkness is where I stay behind this facade I show. Needing and yearning and falling deeper. Hiding and nobody knows. Can't they see through this mask I wear? Don't they see that I'm not there? Are they all so blind? Or do they just don't care? Deep in the darkness, deep in this hole. This is no where for someone to go. I grasp for the edge but have no strength. and I slide deeper into this hole. Deep in the darkness where nobody knows. Deep in the darkness of this lonely soul. By: Sandy Copyright ©2001 Sandra Ratliff This poem was written to enter into a contest. The poem had to be about Darkness.
