The Web Poetry Corner - Richard Betts Jr. - Dark

Dark

by

Richard Betts Jr.

Dark tears,
Cried without a sound.
Fears $õ4÷felt,
But never said aloud.

Shadow faces;
Flashes of a dream.
Empty places;
Dark and dismal scenes.

One hand,
Holds the little child.
The other hand,
Feeds the flaming fire.

One side,
Fights to get away.
The other side,
Waits to feel the pain.

Shades of gray,
Turn black in the mind.
Then fade away,
But are never far behind.

Days spent,
Like a shadow in the night.
Years lived;
A life without a light.

Dark walls,
Soft from years of rain.
Crumble down,
As we confront the 4֔pain.

Dark tears,
That I have cried for you.
Please, let me
Be a light for you.
