Poetry: Dark poems

By the Wayside



When days have turned to darkness
And nothing dries my tears
Will I slip into madness?
Will no one calm my fears?

When shadows linger near me
The light flees from my sight
Where is my sanctuary?
Within the darkened night.

I search but never find
Why don't you ever see me?
Why can you not be kind?

My hope fell by the wayside
Along the battered path
To lie in shattered ruin
Will no one bring me back?

    with the darkest death of night
    so that you can not peer inside
    and see my raw, blood
