Spark

A song of unrequited love

The heart, it spills for love’s embrace

A fact we all must stand and face

But love is not always invited

Leading to love unrequited

Scream it from a mountaintop,

Scream until you make it stop.

Weep and weep the more you dwell,

Weep until you fill a well. .

The voices in your head are real.

Reflections of the things you feel.

The louder they are, the more you hurt,

But don’t let yourself become inert.

A demon’s strength grows with fears and tears

Stronger and stronger through all the years.

So sing in the silence and shine in the dark.

When waiting for life, become the spark.

About the Creator

Patrick O'Connor

I often end up not being the one that writes my stories. My characters do. They always find ways to surprise me.

I started with quotes, which turned into poetry, and now I'm working on novels.
