The Best Poem Of Eric Pettit Jr

A Life Time

It has been by my side for so long

It devours the essence of my being
A man who enjoyed the wonders of Life
now gone

walk as a husk of my former,
doing good upon others, see if I still feel…

Sorrow is all that is present

an endless void of twisting rot filled my heart my core, a familiar ache

loneliness, a friend I’ve grown accustomed to

tears carried the same message, a broken record

Forsaken on an island of darkness in the depths of my mind, none to reach out to

endurance… wavering
no escape...

it creeps like a murderer with silent intent
it comes and tells me things, horrid things

I shove it aside and tried so hard, yet so weak

the battle mattered little

it comes again, disparity grips me
piercing my thoughts with thoughts

I take the sharpened edge
perform the deed before it consumes my soul, my very existence
the regret deceit abandonment mistreatment misery
THE YEARS OF IT ALL MUST END.

A simple slice led to…
bliss

I fell but, no pain came. The body felt like a temple

growing silence ever pressing
granted sanctuary as time stood motionless
everything faded and bled.
is this really happening?
it has finally stopped
for the moment
let it...
all…





End.
