An old silent lake

Nush

Free verse
An old silent lake is what I see as I turn around with tears on my cheek, 'this is the end', I think
But in the stillness, whispers rise
Reflections shimmers within the darkened skies
Each tear, reflects a memory, to linger longer, to let me be

An old silent lake is what I see as I bid adieu
New chapter forms, a journey anew
A sanctuary where once I stood
Is now a place no longer use.

About this poem

This poem is about someone who is going through a very hard time, something is haunting them so much that they want to give up their life so they go to that ONE place where they felt safe and decided to end their life in that same spot, an old silent lake.
