Fallen Grace
I didn’t wish to fall from grace,
A million candles burning,
My sense of reality losing grip,
My heart losing its yearning,
But, holding on as I might,
I just couldn’t keep on learning,
While those candles couldn’t keep burning,
My bitter tears fall with glee,
As the soldiers keep dying,
And now I sit in the dark,
Because my teeth are always lying,
And all the blackness stuck in my heart…
Is telling me I’m dying.
About this poem
This is a poem about regret. It describes a ruler who has done so much harm without meaning too. When this poem was written it started out as a simple prompt of 3 words, and soon morphed into a full blown train wreck. The poem was relatable to me, and can be to many people. We all have regrets. Wanting to change the past, to turn back time, to find yourself, myself. But at the end all that regret and pain well, it kind of eats at you. So you end of dying, emotionally or physically. more »
