Imagine For A Moment Poem by Robin Bennett

Imagine-
hearing the same voice
melt a heart like the
summer sun
then freeze it
like an arctic winter

Imagine-
nights teeming
with dreams
now only a requiem
replaced by
a colorless horror show

Imagine-
hearing the screams
of the present
knowing no refuge exists
bowing to
lonely and sad
strings of a lost future

Imagine-
the deluge of tears
still to pour
grieving for a
past
a present
and fears of
your future hell

Imagine-
when a voice
shouts at you
that you are
worthless
including the screams
inside your mind

Imagine-
a silence
so loud that
music
is the only voice
you hear
Hate
is the
soundtrack of your life
isolated and alone

Imagine-
how sad
for a brief time
your pitiful life
was void of anguish
glimmers of hope
honesty and worth
gave you reason
to laugh
reason to be

Imagine-
writing these words
through the blur of tears
within the white noise
of despair
while sounds now
echo in tandem
how trivial you are

Imagine if you were me...
