Totally Optional Prompts

This week's Totally Optional Prompts asks:

Your prompt for this week: be someone or something else. Write a poem in the voice of whomever or whatever you'd like.


The Spark is Gone

I speak from the darkness
An inky black dot
Swallowed by emotions
Too strong to speak

I once was a princess
Living the high life
Cherished by the one
As my heart beat for two

I went away when your spark was lost
Sinking, falling, crashing into despair
Unsure what to do or where to go
I was adrift on the waves of saddness

I continue to fight every day
Trying to find the spark
That moment of happiness
That gives me back my life

I think we've all known this darkness at one time or another. I love how you expressed it!
