Poetry The Light in the Darkness

[Cream Gravy?]

I wrote this poem for my wife about a year ago. She's been extra caring for me lately as I've been a bit depressed, so I thought I'd share it to say to the world this is my lovely wife, she is my rock.





The Light in the Darkness


A turbulent sea of despair surrounds me.

Who am I?
Why is there always so much pain?
Am I simply fated to lonliness?

In the distance,
A ray of light,
Of hope,
A chance to make it away from all this.
A chance to escape all of the pain.

I didn't know it,
That you were my future,
That you truly would become,
The physical manifestation of all that is good,
And righteous.

Reserved,
Quiet,
Shy and contemplative.

I had no idea.

My nature is to destroy,
The self,
Others,
My relationships.

Yours is to stand fast,
To fight against the current,
The turbulent ocean of despair,
The self-loathing.
You showed me the way.

No matter how far I fall,
No matter how far I sink,
You always pull me back,
Out of that dark sea.

An island oasis among an overwhelming darkness.

I thought I knew,
Myself,
The world,
Humanity.

But I knew nothing.

You showed me the way,
And to this day,
You always hold onto me,
And keep me from the sea.
