Darkness Poem by Christine CCC

Long ago I believed in hope, love and trust. Slowly, one by one, they crushed it. Without even noticing they did. One by one, they did. All of them.

Now love and trust and hope are just empty words thrown at each other without meaning. It was just empty words with broken promises that do not need to be trusted.

Empty words that brought sorrow to every creature that lived.

Love. Such a powerful word. Such a powerful emotion but today it meant nothing. nothing at all. It is now an empty shell, with an empty promise of happiness.

Broken promises and empty shells are the epitome of a perfect lover. Twisted. Twisted ways of reliving every loving moment.

A twisted way to say I love you. I despise you with all that’s in my body. A twisted way to tell someone that you care enough for them.

Pain. A silent plea for help. Help. That wasn’t given because it wasn’t heard. It wasn’t obvious enough.

Death. The light. Mercy to others who suffered an agonizing life. A traitor to those who want to live and a friend to those who welcome it.

Darkness. The one that looms and strikes when he sees vulnerability. The darkness that consumed me. I welcomed it. With open arms I let it take control. It guided me. To the depths of it. I saw a light. A dark light. To the path of my friend. Death.
