Graven Image

• Artist: Shade Skypage
• Description: A poem that I wrote several years back. It's a sorrowful piece, and in all honesty, one of the shorter ones I've written. I'm curious as to how people will react to it, so read and enjoy. If you like it, feel free to give me a good rating.

Pain, I felt, when we could not be
A feeling I wished you just could see.
I tried to go, just run away
Yet in my mind you were content to stay.

Pain, 'tis said, makes us know what is real.
Is this the price that must be paid to feel?

In my mind, I see you, simply standing there
I try to let you be gone; yet I know not to where
I raise the knife in the dark of that thought
Blade strikes down, to redeem the pain wrought

Even in dream, my hand doth freeze, I still choose not to hate.
Is it wisdom I have found? Will the pain finally abate?

Pain sears me again, yet even in dream, I could never harm thee.
Have I found another cruel truth of life, or graven image of me?
