Shadow of Sorrow

A poem diving into the depths of the grief and sorrow of losing a loved one.

Enveloped in darkness since you passed

Consumed by the vast black inky shadow of grief.

Lost is the light of your love.

Into the darkness I’d willingly go.

Pessimistic thoughts penetrate my mind, like a needle poking a pregnant woman’s spine.

Suffocating emotions drain me of life, like a pillow pressed down under a killers might.

Each day I pray for an end to this pain and plight.

    This so greatly describes the feeling of grief. Happiness will come to eclipse all the pain and sorrow. Only time will help and heal.

  • Gosh this was so dark, poignant, emotional and intense! Brilliant Acrostic!
