Hey Fyre... I figured since you shared, I'd share too.I write mostly poetry, but i've got a handful of short stories and am working on a novel at the moment.
But I thought it was only fair that since you share what's in your head, I post a couple things i wrote.
This one is a little bit older, but it still fits a lot of days...
Moments of Solitude
In the silence before the dawn
I awake too soon
and reach for something that is no
longer there.
Alone in a world as
empty as a virgin’s bed.
An infinite silence
surrounds me as I am
all that remains of life.
All around there is
nothing but an emptiness
so tangible you would be able to
lock it away in a box.
If there was a You, that is.
For You are no longer.
It is I. Just I.
I am all that is left.
Who dared to open Pandora’s box?
To release the evil which
threw me into this lonely universe?
Curse him who sentenced me
to this life of solitude beyond solitude!
Am I doomed to live out the remainder
of my years in this, my personal hell?
My one true fear personified
in this world that is no
longer a world.
For I am truly alone.
All I have left are my memories,
my regrets and the love I felt.
But these are not enough.
I took for granted
all the things around me,
and it is these I miss.
Would that I could change my past.
Maybe loneliness would be bearable
without the regrets.
Silent tears fall and stain the paper
on which I write.
With a wild cry,
I gaze at the starless sky.
In the silence before dawn,
I awake too soon,
and reach for what was
never there in the first place.
Above me, Orion stands ever steady,
to remind me
there is always a second chance.
