Sojourn Poem by Arik Fletcher

Walking down this path of hate,
A darkness that will not sedate,
This nightmare no one could create,
So far from that once peaceful state.

Now sinking in this sea of shame,
A cloud of hurt that has no name,
A coldness where there once was flame,
In feelings I can’t seem to tame.

Descending in my own despair,
This broken soul beyond repair,
My heart dissolves each thought and care,
To leave me with no love to spare.

So here I lay beyond remorse,
Where destiny has run its course,
My time to go back to the source,
Beyond all realms of human force.
