Diminished

 Diminished

The slow turn of a knife
twisted into the side of the soul
rips through more than flesh as it chisels the bone.
 
A skewered soul bleeds in solitude.
No tears relieve the perpetual agony of the beloved who are lost.
 
Suffocating in deep of endless grief as crimson dark river follows it drowns all hope and dreams
spilling forth an illusion that all is in vain.
 
Carnage of loved ones penetrates the eyes of the heart
and spot lights the gruesome remains of who once was
 
No reconciliation with the violence that has passed through
the generations.
Left to mourn alone life is crippled with wailing of
unuttered grief.
 
Such tragedy holds the dagger that severes the sky from the heavens and in its' wake destroys all hope of the return of the joy of yesteryear
 
Sudden and abrupt goodbyes rip away any and all resolve
as one lingers in a dimension of unthinkable pain.
God pull me up and out of this misery I pray.
Breath in and out again and say I am free

Suffocating in deepest and endless grief crimson follows,
and light disappears where wretchedness begins.
Unfinished and unprepared goodbyes spares any and all resolve
spilling forth an illusion that all is in vain.

I highlighted a few of my favorite lines in this emotive, despondent piece,
Cactus Woman.
You do dark poetry proud.
Have a wonderful weekend.

What an extraordinarily powerful poem, brings our darkest intuition of where our society has gone - with compassion for the soul's quiet suffering -  into the intense light of your searing words, and thus somehow transforming it all - if not fixing things, restoring our power to define and overcome.

P.S. I revised the poem some.
Hope it brings fourth greater understanding of the great pain I saw my mother go through after the deaths that accrued during her life and also mine. 
I know many have suffered great loss.
I hope those of us who have endured great tragedy do not feel alone.
