Very poorly written as a teenager and recently hastily edited. Feedback VERY welcomed! |
| The chill of ebony envelopes me as the hand of loneliness points a distorted finger in my direction. These eyes once smiled into mine as laughter closed the distance between us. They gazed softly at me as I first danced at the discovery of a joy that only love can invoke. These hands that once wiped tears from my eyes now squeezes my heart into pieces, evicting any remaining compulsion toward life. He onced warmed me in a love that lead me into a world of distant dreams, only to wake me with the reality of a chilling nightmare. He propelled my spirit high, above the highest birds, and only an arms reach from the brightest heavens. Now binding ropes yank me down to the lowest pits of hell. These eyes that once tenderly stared into mine now leaves a volcano of agony where my heart once pumped survival into my veins. The voice that once calmed my fears now spews cold indifference at this crumpled figure before him. (Age 17) |
