She’s been to dark places…
Where the sun never shines…
And the sky is covered over…
By the blackness in her mind…
She’s enjoyed evil thoughts…
Matched by her actions…
She’s hurt those around…
Whilst seeking some distraction…
She’s a version of another…
The person no one else sees…
Like a stealthy secret agent…
A double life she leads…
Taking risks with her life…
Gently loving, yet deceiving…
In the search of something…
To keep her believing…
That there is more to life…
That a truth will be found…
To assist her find the peace…
So she can sleep sound…
And switch off the visions…
That race through her head…
And mute all the voices…
Wishing she’d not said…
Words of bitter cruelty…
The words of pure hate…
Words she can’t take back…
And that didn’t translate…
Into how she’s feeling…
Because she can’t articulate…
The pain that surrounds her…
She fears it’s much too late…
To resolve this situation…
Or ever reclaim her soul…
That’s inked with her crimes…
Now out of all control…
As she sits in dark places…
Where the sun never shines…
And the sky is covered over…
By the black clouds in her mind…

Well written. Strong words.
Thank you for your kind words! Cheers J
I like the depth here. She hurts because she doesn’t know how to articulate. This is true for so many so often.
Thanks Keith – agree with your words – Cheers J

wish I could write as good as you but I need to eat sacks and sacks of rice to be really good. I like the song it’s very soulful I used to sing it before in a lively tune.
Thank you for your kind words Franz – Cheers J
