I actually wrote this when I was bored one time, so it may not be my best work, but I think it's all right. Let me know what you think.
~Okay, in response to the comments of Stella Thomas and *writewatiwant*, I have added some things and changed some things about this poem. Feel free to leave comments about this new version.
----
Awaking to nothing, to impending black
Can’t seem to remember my name.
I feel destiny’s stare burning into my back,
And I find I’ve got no one to blame.
A solitary shadow cast onto the wall,
Light comes from everywhere, nowhere at once
The eternal blankness preceding my fall,
But who was it to give such a thrust?
Flashing,
Thrashing,
My life was at stake.
Falling,
Crawling,
Expected to break.
Defeated and wounded, I lie on the ground,
My only hope is to find him.
As memory returns, I’ve suddenly found
My previous wish was to blind him.
Rejected by all and consoled by none,
The story of my newfound life.
He did not fall, this is not fair,
The world I know is pain and strife.
Silent,
Violent,
Hearing my screams.
Keening,
Bleeding,
Can’t find my dreams.
If this is all I’m living for,
I don’t know why I exist.
He pushed me away, that much is clear,
There’s no reason at all to persist.
It takes too much strength to keep my head up,
And nothing makes sense anymore.
This cave where I’ve fallen is no place like home,
But I can’t lift myself off the floor.
Hopeless,
Helpless,
Alone in the dark.
Crying,
Dying,
The beats of my heart.
But as I listen for the help that can save me,
I hear the faint sounds of walking.
I know they won’t help me, that they too will hate me,
But suddenly, I hear him talking.
He tells me he’s sorry, he says it with shame,
His eyes are too bright, too persuasive.
I’m finding myself falling into his spell,
He’s right here beside me, striking, invasive.
Flying,
Sighing,
Finally saved.
Soaring,
Restoring,
The rescue I craved.
