&quot;I&#039;d trade all my tommorows for a single yesterday.&quot;<br /> Janis Joplin


Rain falls down; I’m all alone, in the middle of a nowhere.















Mascara runs down my face cascading into intricate webs of black.












Where is my knight? Coming from the intense dark that is slowly engulfing me










as I melt into the trees that are as ancient as time itself.

















How did it come to this, everything that was so perfect is now not,















all of it is pointless, and terrifying, as I cry and sob in the epic cold.















My only hope is the dawn of the new day and the light that it will surely bring.












For if it doesn’t, I am truly afraid that I may be forever consumed
















in this awful world of desolation and misery. So until that time I will stay as I am,








hoping, wishing, praying for the light as I am slowly corrupted by the evils of this dark.

I love music and poetry and for me, this poem combines them both. I was listening to a song on the radio when i had an urge to write so i started writing and this came out. I'm not really sure how to interpret it to if you don't mind maybe you could tell me what your opinion is of it?

I interpreted as something catastrophically awful happened and she just doesn't know if time will heal it.

 

I liked it, and also how u asked for us to interpret it. That's how a poem should be looked at, not just one way.

 

Take a look at mine? They are pending right now, though. thanks!
