The Lost Soul

Poem and Image by Martha Di Giovanni

  

She wanders aimlessly through the dark,

    
Lost within herself, searching for a spark.
    
Her footsteps echo in the empty abyss,
    
A woman adrift, unable to reminisce.

    
Failure's shadow cloaks her weary soul,
    
A haunting reminder, taking its toll.
    
Change whispers softly in the night,
    
But she's trapped in darkness, gripped tight.

    
Silenced dreams linger, once bright and bold,
    
No longer shining, now frostbitten and cold.

Pain seeps through her every vein,
   
Depression's weight is her constant bane.

In a world disguised by deceit and lies,
   
She craves solace beneath infinite skies.
