Gabrielle's Poem
Location
It’s dark and cold and I’m lonely.
The cold wind rushes pass me tearing my face apart with its harshness.
I shiver.
My hands are too stoned to move.
I’m pale.
My lips are closed tightly with my teeth shattering inside.
I’m mute.
Each step I take gets harder and harder.
I’m moving steady but dying slowly.
I feel as though I will break down.
Show me the light bring me the warmth because I feel as though I can’t go on. Take me back to the time when the light shined bright and bring me back to life. Fulfill my wants and needs.
I’m lost.
I’m careless.
I’m breaking down.
I drop to my knees and cry.
I want your help.
I need your help.
I want you here near me, close to me.
Your touch will cure me, save me.
I am stuck in a dark, cold, and lonely place.
