The Darker Side Of Pain Poem by Sonya Annita Song

The Darker Side Of Pain

Rating: 5.0


I stabbed the moon to watch it bleed
Because it mocks me with its glow,
The way it shines for all to see;
Does it feel pain? I burned to know.

I flew up into space one night,
A blazing sword within my hand,
And thrust it deep without a fight
Into the dusty, barren land.

And when I saw the blood flow free
Along the craters of its face,
I felt ashamed, and tenderly,
I gave the moon a cold embrace.

For I'm a shadow with no light,
I'm lost within the darkness too,
And now the moon, no longer bright,
Could also feel the pain I knew.

Superb.... there are no other words that I can think of to describe the feeling after reading your poem.

There is also so much sadness here, of a revenge due to immense pain and untended hurt...the tendency to lash out or become same to, the unloving one, who brought heartache to life...just a thought...Gio
