The Darkness

A deep, dark,
Dismal shadow
Hauntingly
Seeps across the
Ground.
A large oil spill
Suffocating as
It spreads.
Choking out
Everything that
Lies in it's
Path.
The pain of death
Comes sickly
Slow.

Drowning out all
Light and
Hope.

Images of the
Past,
Silent stalkers
In the night.
Only emerging
When all
Other
Distraction is
Gone.
Flashing through
The mind like a
Silent picture show.
Bringing back all the
Pain, stupidity, and
Loneliness of
Decisions made

These mistakes
I've made.
These ghosts won't
Leave me.

I try to walk a path
To where I can live without
Regrets.
But these shadows from the
Past still follow me through life.


I wish I could forget

I wish I could forget

I wish I could

Forget
