Until The Break Of Dawn Poem by Jennifer Batch

Until The Break Of Dawn



She reaches out her hand into the mist
Reaches out into emptiness where nobody exists
The one she thought you were has never been
Just a shadow lingering until the break of dawn
All the while a figment of imagination
Reality bringing to life haunting desolation
Look into the mirror, confusion staring back
Time has passed so quickly, when did she become the one you feed upon?
Is she just now fully comprehending the damage that was done?
She's denied it in the past, now she can't break down the wall
Lost within a maze of deception and insanity, unable to break free
Her face shrouded in a veil of tears that nobody will see
And in her lowest moment she longs to fall asleep
To sleep and wake no more, to walk where angels trod
For the life to slowly bleed from her, for her sweet breath to fall still
Alas, faint of heart fear not, for she will remain strong drawing upon
All that remains fair, all that remains good, all that is untainted
Holding her head high through the turbulent storm
In the darkness she will keep her eye upon the oil burning lamp ahead
No turning back, moving straight ahead, so unaware
Which direction upon the narrow, cobbled path she shall be lead
