THE CALLING

Angela Highberg 1974 (Texas)

Ballad
THE CALLING
So Alone,
Beneath the Darkness,
What is this Feeling For,
My Ghost Gain on me,
A Plague of Memories,
Dying for Your Touch,
To Only Make You See,
Plead for a False Remedy,
It's Calling,
The Scars Inside,
Ravens Amongst the Thunder,
Breaking Down my Heart
AH

About this poem

    The irony and that we're never truly alone as many have been to this dark, dreary place as well. This is a beautiful, bittersweet piece, Angela. Sometimes we have to allow ourselves out in order to allow ourselves back. Emotion is a great outlet to release what ails us. Writing is a great venue for that outpouring. Thank you for sharing your pain. :-)
