Loneliness : Gothic Poetry

written by Poet : Sleeping_Dark


Loneliness

Cold was my soul, bound to Stygian mist,

Enfolded in the darkness of night.

This Cimmerian cave with its lurking crevice,

Is the place where I dwell out of sight.

In the shadows I hide, a dismal excuse,

A dark creature of nightmarish dreams,

A beast lurking here, an abysmal recluse,

Forgotten by He who redeems.

Why should I be afraid of the stigma of shame?

Neverending the torrents of spite.

`tween shivers of pain, overwhelming the blame,

The emotions my name does incite.

The futility of hope is a mockery due,

To a creature as lonely as I,

When I kneel down and pray, all the things that i rue,

I can feel all my hopes pass me by.

Be it mist, be it rain, be it summer or shine,

Be it angel or demon of night,

I am pure, I am true, I am yours, I am mine,

I am creature who roams out of sight.
