Darkness surrounds me –
Black behind me,
Black beside me,
But His light is before me.
So many pass me,
Walking into the deep night.
I did not dare look at one,
Until a Voice rang out inside.
“Look at her – the girl with death in her eyes.”
I looked into her eyes and saw
Burning, smouldering, hungry flames.
Terrifying darkness pervades, controls
The girl with death in her eyes.
“She deserves to be told.”
How, oh Lord? HOW?
I don’t know her. I’m too scared.
So I walked on.
These doubts kept nagging,
Cutting me inside.
Still I walked on.
No! I cannot let this happen!
“Wait!” I called out to her.
But I stopped just in time to hear her scream pierce the empty, dark silence
– and my soul.
It was too late for the girl with death in her eyes.
What have I done! I didn’t know!
But I did.
This pain is choking me, strangling me, stabbing me.
LORD, TAKE IT AWAY!
But I need it, Lord, I know.
Don’t take it from me,
Don’t let me forget
The high price for leaving
The girl with death in her eyes.
There is a girl with death in her eyes.
Wow. Thanks for ruining my day Anne. Good job. :)

ReplyDeleteWhat did I do?
ReplyDeleteI don't know why this thing says my name is unknown. This is Anne Marie...
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly is this poem about? Someone who wants to commit suicide?
ReplyDeleteI really like this Annemarie. It's so true too. It reminds me to never leave those who need the Lord alone in the dark. Thank you.
