~ realm of despair
This is a short poem about Despair, as I think she is the most neglected of all the Endless. Always appreciate feedback. Beautiful Despair does not belong to me, so please don't sue. Enjoy!
~ realm of despair
give in, give up, lose heart, lose hope
can you feel it?
feel the cold pull at your heart, at your soul?
a hook tearing away other emotions
can you feel it?
welcome to the other side of the mirror
shadows, mist, silence
coldness chills you, saddens you
depresses you
stillness and silence, these
the companions of the lady
who knows you too well
do you recognise her
misery and anguish
can you feel it?
the slow inevitable exhaustion of spirit
can you end it?
no no no you cannot
that is part of the pain
part of the plan
part of the picture
give up, give in, lose heart, lose hope
you are hers now
do you not see?
how endlessly she watches you, regards you
she loves you
you are beautiful to her
she will fight for you
for she loves you
do you see her sometimes
in the mirror
a face staring sadly out
many call her ugly or evil
but they do not understand her
she is what she is
a personification of an emotion
a feeling within us brought to life
do you know her?
do you see her?
