Edge Of Darkness

by Baby Rainbow   Oct 15, 2014


Sitting on the edge of leaving-
contemplating goodbye,
running out of reasons
not to walk away and cry.

Craving love so much it hurts,
the sun dulls darker every day.
My ears get tired of pretending
there is truth in every lie you say.

I need to clear my cluttered head
of all the messy words you said,
for when I start to breathe again,
you're first in line to bring me pain.

So I sit on the edge of leaving,
just about to slam that door,
contemplating my goodbye
so you can't hurt me any more.

    This is the first time I've read a poem that flows perfectly
    smooth with spot on rhymes and sense. The imagery that
    came along with too in my mind was moving too...beautifully sad.

    Walking out of someone's life, is not always a bad thing, it rises the question of why you would, when you have loved someone for so long. Here I see this character can no longer take the pain that this person put them through and in that they must walk away, but it seems the allure of suicide is strong within this, yes pain and depression are very real aspects to any factor of suicide, and no one can truly understand inner pain, but is it worth it? Some will say yes and others no. It depends on the perspective. It is also true that the pain will end. Anyways, loved the simple rhyming here, it makes the poem flow well here, and the message is strong. As it brings out a point of getting hurt and not being able to take it anymore. 5/5

    @.@!!!

    This is such a sad write...

    The imagery I got from this piece is overwhelming...

    I picture a girl/woman/boy/man just sitting
    Mulling over everything awful in their life,
    As if these were the brief last few minutes
    Left for them to live, before they make their
    Final decision...
    which has been emotionally/ physically
    beaten into them, as their only way out :(

    So sad
