Vantadarkness

By 10 Forty Three

Her words are usually written,
hardly spoken.
She shares her story
and for her, I always worry.
 
No one can tell
the flameless Hell
she goes through every day.
How much thoughts can weigh.
 
Dark poems make up this site
and we all let part of our lives be seen in the light,
but her life is an everyday internal fight
especially through the night.
 
We all know darkness,
but we don’t all know what it’s like to lose someone who wasn’t supposed to go yet.
What we’d give to be heartless
and not feel pain and be able to forget.
 
Her darkness has become vantadarkness.
A darkness like no other.
Still, she’s a brave woman, a strong mother
and a friend who I will stand with in the vantadark.
