The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

First i would like to say thank you to Peredhil because I probly wouldnt have posted this if it hadent been for your 'should I post' poem.

Second I dont have a name for my poem does anyone have any ideas?

Anyways here it is

 

Creeping in the darkness

Uncertainty hides its brutal face

Disguised as truth and logic

Taking over the whole of life

A flawless guise to undo

The hard earned trust

The love you have

 

What-ifs pile overhead

Hanging over everything

Lies aren’t really there

Don’t know how to deal

How fragile reality seems

Unable to give credence

 

Letting the past go

Eagerly seizing the future

Embarking on the healing path

Ready for a companion

Longing for love

 

Too much time has passed

It took more time than was had

All chances linger unresolved

Wrestles sleep steals life’s beacon

A different kind of darkness befalls

 

No more doubt

No more anguish

All emotions escape

It is quiet now

The last line of stanza 3 seemed to stick out for me, you could maybe call it "Darkness Falls" (though I heard that was a terrible movie) or maybe "Missed Chance for Change"?

 

I liked the half-narrative, half-lyrical qualilty of this poem. ^_^

It's good you posted it, it's always nice to be able to read another's work. I think I liked the 1st stanza the most, and from it you might be able to draw a title. Personally I don't put much stock in titles, but when all else fails the first line of a poem usually works.
