 The Mistress of Word Play

Living in Darkness

It was the darkness she embraced
when her world became devoid of light.
She clung to misty shadows, dimly lit rooms
because life's imperfections were hidden from sight.

Her life was uneventful, meaningless.
She disliked attention and withdrew into herself.
Photographs seemed surreal, irrelevant
as did other objects stored on every dusty shelf.

Absorbed in self pity and unending malaise
years disappeared, encircling blank pages.
She wondered if eternity was as long as she imagines
as the war inside her fast hardening heart rages.

It is hard to imagine what my life with my ex-husband of 6 years was like, but this might give you a clue as to what he put me through. God have mercy on your soul Gary Hines.
