Eyes in Dark

My First Poem

Melissa R. Mendelson
Eyes in dark
are lost forever.
No trace or mark.
Never found, never.

Gone from light.
Nothing the same.
Trapped in the night.
This isn't a game.

Same place.
Different things.
Different face.
Nothing the same.

Lost in the dark.
Trapped in the night.
My heart is the lonely dog's bark.
My life is portrait consumed in white.
