Everything Under the Moon

The Family of Ghosts

In time where life should be
there is naught but misery
the thoughts of things i want so dear
the thoughts of pains i want to hear
within my head exists the children
who teach me how to rhyme

plagued with thoughts of darkness and despair
kill my heart, i just dont care
as i progress through the day
hope still lingers over the grey
how can hope exist, when i dont believe in what i hope for

The children of my soul
i love you with all my heart
and even though i'll never know you in the flesh
i'll never shed a tear when you get lost
i'll never get hurt when you turn on me
i'll never comfort you when you're in pain
i'll never melt when you smile
i'll never bask in your light
because my darkness is too bright
and we'll never share a memory
the one that makes me remember why i exist

I'll have to settle knowing you are within me
and even though, this causes tears to flow
it's a pain i choose to bare
because not knowing you would be my end

The children of my soul
i love you with all my heart
hope of your incarnation fades
just as i feel myself fading away
and when i cease to exist
we can be together
...always.

That's beautiful and sad...what inspired it?

thanks guys, it's nice to get some feedback.

"That's beautiful and sad...what inspired it?"

well long story short, havings kids is one of the things i want most in life. at the same time its one of the things i'll more than likely never be able to have.

Sobek, I genuinely hope that you get your wish. You would be a wonderful parent.

Very beautiful and sad, I loved the rhyming scheme, it made the poem more... raw, and unrehearsed. I think if it were different it would take away from your work. Whatever your situation, my wishes go out to you.
