Freedom
September 19, 2012
Lips moving,
Nothing coming out
A silenced scream
Cut short
A shining steel blade
Glinting red
Tears streaming
Down a dirty face
Eyes stare lifelessly
At the starry sky
Night overtakes the light
Blacking out comfort
Huddled with a lost companion
Crying out for help
But to no avail
Nobody hears
Begging for mercy
Yet nobody comes
Death shadows your every step
Knocking on your door
But you embrace it
Welcoming the darness
And when the cold envelopes you
Everything falls into place....

You made it so real it's almost as if you can feel everything that is happening. It makes you feel helpless and alone. I love it it's dark and mysterious. The best poem I have ever read.
