Insecurity's Eclipse

by Baby Rainbow   Mar 5, 2014


In a familiar place of insecurity,
I can feel you drifting further away.

I become afraid of losing you
in the temporary darkness.

Flickers of light shine
to remind me that darkness
is merely a visitor to my mind.

But insecurity blindfolds my heart,
and your love becomes an eclipse
inside my blurry eyes.

    You started out very strong here. In life we always seem to heal. But in that time of healing one thing can go wrong. Your wording is immense in the tone pf darkness and sadness. I like that because it means you were in a sad mood to write this. It always makes for a better poem when we can reach from the deepest dark of our souls. It seems here though you have lost this person before. Whether it be yourself or a love.. I liked the word insecurity. It gives off that feeling of not having hope at all.

    You did well to connect the first two stanzas (or four lines). Darkness can pull you away from life. So being insecure about it is not surprising. I don't know if you realized this but a lot of people are afraid of the dark so I liked the connection there too. There is always light inside daekness if you look hard enough.

    Though they may just flicker light is in any positive emotion. The word blindfold is great too. It connects with darkness well. It blinds you and more and more you get used to it. Overall. This is a great poem. The wording connects well with the whole thing I really loved the title. :) beautiful

    Insecurity feeling drives whatever compassion that comes to your doorstep. The worse part is that we won't realize it until its late and then regret..another well penned write.
