To Succumb Poem by Charles Garcia

One day I was Left in darkness-surrounded by
Oncoming fears, fear of all this empty space,
fear of someone to take your place,

Little did I know that I would be all-alone?
Fear of no one to take my hand, no one to
Understand the pain embedded in my heart.

No shelter where I could hide.
I was unable to run from pain,
As all my memories, locked up inside.

Years of suffering and now you are gone
No one to listen to my cries,

I shall maintain a diligent search, perhaps
To fill this void that lies within my heart

For someone may fill this void, but never
Take your place.
