Autumn Hanna Poems

I can't feel your anger, your words don't even leave a scratch, I can't feel your icy glare even though it used to be a knife in my back.
I've fell into peaceful darkness, succumbed to this Bliss, I'm still quite alive, but feeling isn't something I miss.
The grief was too heavy and the hatred too much, love was overwhelming and happiness out of touch,
I abandoned your way of living somewhere along the line of light and dark, adjusting to not feeling and prying out my beating heart.
...

We're called many things, not all of them very kind, our bravery is renowned for fighting behind enemy lines,

We never give up, we never give in,
We'll fight to the last whether we lose or win.
...

What will happen when history repeats?
Is it deja-vu to the extreme?

Time stops and the records can't even tell,
...

I am the seething darkness crouched at the foot of your bed,
The grimmest of things thought up inside your head.

I am the thing that lurks at the end of every hall,
...

I dare you to push me over the edge,
Dare you to make me lose my head.

Dare you to take a peak inside,
...

What happens when darkness falls in this forsaken land?
A time for rest? A time for peace? Perhaps for the unknowing and misfortune man.

No one knows what happens when the sun goes down,
...

Do you know who I am?
Of course you don't, of course you won't, no one ever can.

Curious? Well I'll give you a hint,
...

The words were sharp and condescending, but I strode past them in leaping bounds,
They may have made me wince but they never knocked me down.

It was hard to get used to life carrying such a deadly secret,
...

They got tired of me writing poems about death, destruction and such,
So I decided to do something with a less morbid touch,

My favorite season came to mind,
...

My love for you is like a disease, it tainted me from inside out,
My sweet Caroline, won't you please come out of your house?

No? Well that's alright I'll invite myself in.
