The Release.. Poem by lolly cotterill

Dark and foreboding
The shadows came
Yesterday upon my face
Crushing my soul
Tormenting my sorrowed heart
Turning like stone now
Trying to save myself
From feeling
Tears streaming
Falling
Cascading
So much
Sadness and pain
Anguish and regret
I never said
Goodbye
At that moment
Somewhere else
Instead of by your side
You left for good
That day
Never to return
But I felt you go
The final release
To paradise.
