Here I sit in the shadows, <br />Waiting for darkness to engulf me. <br /> <br />A part of my life has been taken, <br />For it shall never be alive again. <br /> <br />The lifeforce of my heart has been broken, <br />For it imploded and shattered and forever gone. <br /> <br />The key to life is lost, <br />Gone forever and ever. <br /> <br />What am I to do with these demons eating me away, <br />Pulling me apart and breaking my will. <br /> <br />Before long I shall be in pieces, <br />Never being whole again. <br /> <br />Piece by piece im losing my soul, <br />Losing my life and all that mattered. <br /> <br />My body and mind are withering away, <br />Waiting day by day for darkness to end. <br /> <br />Im trying to find the light, <br />The torch of brightness and enlightenment. <br /> <br />Hoping it will brighten my lost, dim path, <br />Guiding me back to life and all I have lost. <br /> <br />Just trying and trying to find that spark, <br />Praying for the best, praying to be back to life. <br /> <br />For the shadows keep lingering, <br />Trying to swallow my entire existence. <br /> <br />These feelings of grief and sadness need to end, <br />I must put back the pieces of my life. <br /> <br />The mind, body, heart, and soul must unite, <br />For the utopia and harmony must survive within me. <br /> <br />If not, all may be astray, <br />Wondering endlessly about. <br /> <br />One day life will return, <br />One day everything will unite. <br /> <br />Everything may be admist, <br />But, things adrift may be found. <br /> <br />Buried deep within me are the answers, <br />The only chance I have for survival. <br /> <br />One day I'll be whole and ready, <br />Ready to take the beacon of hope and light. <br /> <br />To brighten the horizon, <br />And bring peace to my life.<br /><br />Christopher John Fausnight<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shattered-soul-4/
