Lost

In the darkness i sit alone
I no longer feel at home
This house brings bad luck and pain
The memories make me go insane
my mind cant be at peace
I wish these thoughts and anguish would cease
The good times hurt more than the bad
The loss is so incredibly sad
Im a lone traveller now
I have to move on somehow
The weather maybe sunny and bright
Still inside a storm brews tonight
The clouds hang overhead
They are the ones filled with sadness and dread
The exterior of my face
Lies to all of my minds dark place
To be alone in company of others
Even when surrounded by sisters and brothers
The light so dim i cant see my feet
Cant seem to lift myself from my seat
The power of the mind can be a great thing
It also can be so torturing
I close my eyes and try and sleep again
escape from the reality
will that bring the end

Hi Beach,
your write is exceptionally difficult to read given the font colour in relationship to background... it's too dark to read. Will you change that?
Beachnit
Hi Rapture
Thanks it is hard to read I know that was kind of on purpose but I have changed the font colour now :)

Hi Beachy
Somehow I felt it had its purpose?...

So I don't have to go to spec-savers after all...cool
Really liked your approach on this one hug x

P.S.

That why I said "hear" what you had to say...not see...angel

Wow.. to say this is a powerful write is an understatement.

I'm moved by the depth of your sorrow. Your loss is more than palpable, yet not untouched by the human hearts of those here.

I hope our presence somehow mitigates the anguish you share teddybear

"In the darkness I sit alone"
...................
I too sit as many others do
upon the seat of loneliness!

Tis cold & lonely there!
I share as a ghost within
your poem!
..................
Relate ... Well done!
