Writing after dark

thinkerbell

I lit a candle in the dark 

To write

As the darkness slowly crept within me

I wrote

Words of woes

Verses of a void

I wrote until the last light died

And my words wept in the dark

        This, my friend, is beautifully worded! Can feel every line, each word carefully chosen. Each line thought out. A brilliant poem indeed and one that I can personally relate to! Well done! 🌹👏
