Doused Fire

Flow of darkness
Like ashes in my veins
Black is what I see
Death of something 
I foresee
Doused fire within
Now lies in its icy state
There was a wait
For
A hand to hold
Someone to hear
Silent cries
Of this soul
And I realize
Only me
Has the power to pull myself
Out of any abyss

  4. The realization that you are left to rise from darkness only by yourself is so hard.. there should always be a helping hand.

    1. Agreed. That realization is very difficult. We are always looking for support. But I guess nobody except you yourself can be of greatest help.
