There is so much light
pouring through the blinds
but I hide in the dark,
curled up in the corner
afraid of letting go.
The blue-black blanket
wrapped around me doesn't keep me safe.
The memories seep through the starry net;
your face is too bright,
too clear,
too near.
Time is closing in on me,
the darkness blends into a pastel dawn,
the sunlight burns my last memory to ash.
The scarlet sun forever blood-red.

Beeme, I will not be offended if you tell me to pissoff. ATB FB :-)

Hi Beeme,
this is certainly an original piece, I like the
last line:- The scarlet sun forever blood-red.
It kind of sets the poem off.
Thanks for the read.
