Nothing, I say, no light so bright can tame,
The darkness within me grows everyday
Nothing that can be said or done could suffice
The pain that lingers in my soul,
The hole that has no limit and keeps on growing
Nothing will be able to fill such,
My mind troubles with no understanding
No knowledge in the world could clarify.
Walking alone in the nights of days,
With no understanding of what is to come.
Thinking of the future,
When it does exist till you see tomorrow.
This bloody knife that still my heart
Of love and happiness,
Gaining only pain and despair
This sadness that razed the fire in my soul.
As days come and time grows old,
Your soul will rest within me
Carrying you’re dreams till the end of my days.
Rest in peace sweet daughter,
Cherishing all the memories till I see you again on one day’s end.

Oh...my...God! GREAT GREAT POEM! I seriously had teary eyes in the end. If this is based on a real life event...I am SO sorry! That is just awful! And I couldn't even imagine living with that kind of pain. Thank you for letting me experience it through this write. It was a very heart wrenching journey for me. Good luck to you and thank you for entering in the contest. Job well done!
