Shattered

[linlin528]

Thunders shook the core of the earth
And my being collapsed, split between two halves
I look up, but darkness blinds my sight
as I crawl through the desert of lost hope
alone with my lifetime companion

Falling droplets burn and pierce my skin
I claw through the pain to salvage my remains
Seconds turn to hours as my body turns to ruins
She watches as I tear into my soul and destroy the last inkling of our childhood and past,
the last white spot lost in an endless injection of despair

Shattered pieces of glass glimmer through the dust
as she throws the remnants of any likeness away
into a spiraling chasm of namelessness
that severs our united cord irrevocably
before disappearing through the fog of ambiguity
A sudden flash of sunlight sends a jolt of lightning through my system
For it illuminated a broken stranger peering back at me
The storm passes, but my sight remains blurred
Whoever that was, and whoever I am, I no longer know

A vision within a dream Lin, and a darkly powerful poem to reflect upon that challenges to reader and perhaps some preconceived belief systems. The yin and the yang or whatever was personified here - good and evil, darkness and light. Well done and cheers! - Dan

Very well done. The word choice and the way you've sculpted the lines brought me to my knees, feeling just as broken at the end.

for me, it felt hopeful...like the realization came "I'm not the only one, I wasn't the first one, I wont be the last one". There's weird comfort in that....
