Hollow

Goodnight, face.
Goodnight 'til the rain of tomorrow.
I'll be here, lest you sing me your song;
your falling melody so full of sorrow.
What I'd give to taste
the freedom to bend the past to my will,
but it's gone and there'll be no other;
no seeds to plant in the ground I've tilled.

So goodnight, face.
Goodnight 'til the reign of tomorrow.
In your fall, we may meet once again,
so grant me respite 'til the day that follows.

    Maher, a very saddening piece by you. I'm not quite sure where it came from as you always seem happy go lucky so I do hope it isn't literal though if it is you know where I am. The write itself is beautiful though as always.

    Goodnight, face.

    A great opening stanza. I feel this face is the past that you are ridding of or at least trying to get rid of and we should always try to rid of the bad things in our past but if we do then what will our future be because the past shapes our future after all or so I feel...
    The imagery is once again (as always) wondrous.

    So goodnight, face.

    Love this ending because it shows that we sometimes go back to the bad in our lives regardless of how,bad they are for us but we're only human after all aren't we?

    Anyway, I liked this. It's yours after all haha
