Sacrifice

by Maple Tree   Aug 14, 2012


Darkest hour

3 am.

abandonment

devours,

spirits rage,

gorging with fools

as my hollow corpse

waits for you-

Even in death,

I'll still embrace hope,

rushing past

my vanity,

slumbering

within

our drowning eyes

of empty

tomorrows

    The form somehow looks like a chess piece to me, I don't know why though, aha.

    Dark poems usually are meant to be ambiguous and open, but at the same time, obscure. And that's what I like about them.
    My interpretation is that the sacrifice is beauty or simply, life. Or maybe both? I think time is what awaits here yet it seems the persona 'accepts' it? Because it is inevitable and there is hope still.

    Tomorrow's --- tomorrows

    I love this, Andrea. It's abstract and shows so much creativity. Keep writing.
