Narrow Road

by Forever Hers   Oct 22, 2013


Footsteps fall
Through dark woods,
Breaths echoing loud
Against their peeling
Bark.
Room for only one
Makes itself known
As I wander down
My narrow road.
A solemn gaze
One sober of smiles,
Breaking under eyes
Of the embodiment of love.
Maybe it is better
For everyone
If I disappeared
To never return;
Maybe the emptiness
Where my heart should lie
Is a reminder
Of the coldness
I have become.

    I love the imagery here Brittany. Though it's short it's very sad yet beautiful. I love the message you bring here though. I think you are letting your sadness out and the dark woods give an eerie and creepy feeling. You are alone of course but I think you don't want any one to find you. Maybe you are trying to run away from what ever haunts you. Again you give the feeling of sadness of loss even. Your heart and life seem to be hollow here. The imagery is outstanding as I said. Every line is great and plays a part of the poem well. Great job.
