The path is crowded with thick fog
It pierces every part of me, her scream
Blinded, I slowly try to trace the path
Not too sure if I'm in a dream
A sharp stone pierces my bare foot
Almost to prove that I'm still awake
Cries of plea cloud my ears
I hear the shackles she's trying to break
I soon bump into an old ripped tree
This seems to be an unknown jungle
Suddenly, fear grips me from all sides
I now know I can't afford to fumble
I need to find and save her
Her screams get more desperate
There is no longer a strength in her voice
Almost like she's surrendered to fate
I look around the thick smoke
Straining my eyes to fine her silhouette
I see faint colors and abstract hues
But I feel no trace of her yet
I now hear loud sobs
I feel her tears drizzle on me
I'm getting wet as I walk
The source of which I cannot see
Her desperation hits me like a blaze
Burning me from deep within
Why is she being tormented?
Has she committed a deadly sin?
I feel closer to the melancholy now
I hear the agony more clear
I just want to find her soon
No more pain I want her to bear
Her screams now deafen me
Stinging me deep through the core
Every part of me now burning
Not feeling her presence anymore
I hear the shackles loud and clear
But this woman I cannot see
When the scream threatens to break me apart
I realize that it is coming from within me
I always say that beauty of poetry is reflected when written in proper format and syntax. Your composition proves it. Nice work.
