Ah
The Darkness
It surrounds me again
I lie here alone, tossing myself to and fro
I grip my chest where my heart lay beneath
The pain. This burrowing pain I can’t escape
I look where you once were
So quiet. So peaceful. So humbly you slept
-
Now.
Now I stare at the neat pillow by my head
Not wrinkled. Not messy. Just empty
The blanket lay untouched but by me. It holds not the form I once knew so well.
I close my eyes, seeing you here with me once again
What bliss!
In an instant, I reach out for you
Your dark tresses
Your beaming orbs of blue
Your sweet, petite face
I see all; my heart pounds painfully with such feeling of Love!
I reach…
…only to touch thin air
-
I stare into my reflection, staring deep into my eyes
Why? I ask. Why?
Only Silence is my answer
Why is it I must live on with this torture?!
Why is it you have left me for another?!
Why… do I still love you?
I stare into my reflection
I waited
Only Silence is my answer
Heavy with sorrow, I drop to my knees
I wept like never before
Why?!
-
What is this?
I reach out to find myself in the images of a time before now
Clutching at this soft object
I see you again
And I smile as you do the same
I feel the same burning sensation at your touch
I shiver at the sound of your tender voice
I see us together again
Embracing you into my arms, keeping you by me forever
But
What fright I feel run through my body
As I see you fade away right before me
No! Please! I beg of you!
Stay by my side!
Hopelessly, I watched as you disappeared
Smiling all the way
-
I’ve had enough!
God, free me of my mortal burdens!
Strike me where I stand before you now!
I plea with all my heart and soul!
Please, take me to your Heavenly Gates
And free me of this never-ending pain!
Pierce my heart with your gentle hand
Rob me of all that brings me such sorrow
And grant me nothing but eternal bliss
With you!
You that I know will forgive me and love me so.
My Lord, I beg of you!
Empty me of all that is not right
Save me from my own damnation!
-
An angel…
I watch as she descends from above,
Her pure white dress flowing like the waves of the ocean
The Light shows not her face
But I know I am not worthy of her great beauty
I do nothing but kneel before her, staring in awe
She held out a hand, a small and delicate hand
In a heartbeat, a sword appeared
A golden sword emanating the Light
I bowed my head
Taking her hand in mine
Together, we raised the weapon and placed it upon my bust
Above where my heart lay beneath
I looked up at her
-
And I saw
I saw the tears of an angel
Tears shed for one such as I
I raised my hand to find a handkerchief
As I wiped away such holy tears
As I felt the sword begin to impale my beating heart
It struck me
My Love!
Her lush, dark hair
Her gleaming blue eyes
Her sweet face
I pulled her close
This searing burn pulsing through my entire being
Giving me such feeling I’d never want to lose
Is it Love?
I embraced her once again
Knowing this Love would last
as long as this fire within me burned
I closed my eyes as the hilt touched my skin
My Love
The Darkness
