Even though my eyes are closed
I can see you lying next to me
Wasting away, lost in the night
I was too blind, I didn’t see

Pictures in my mind surface
Younger days without a care
Nothing could come between us
Oh, how I wish we were still there

A love that seemed so right
Called to us, the perfect pair
But that isn’t really how life goes
We had nothing left to share

The obvious, it always cursed us
Battles fought, each on a dare
Hatred gleamed in its subtle light
Reality blurred, in morning’s glare

She wept, into the silence of her pillow

No arms to comfort, no one to ease the pain

She was alone, left there to battle

Demons who constantly won, the evils

Who never gave her a chance, and still

She tries, tries harder than before, only

Left with nothing but the pool, collected

From her eyes, reddened, swollen, bruised

Unattractively noticeable, she remains

Locked in her room, the only safe haven

Away from the wars, the constant agony,

Her four walls, a sanctuary for her battered heart

Body ravaged by an unknown being
Time escapes, an unsettled fleeing

Torn and tattered in bits and pieces
No longer feeling simple releases

Fighting the fury kept deep inside
Seeking the comfort that’s long been denied

Hidden apart from an every day dream
Visions aren’t always what they seem

Clustered around with anger and strife
Wondering why this has taken my life

So many dreams have been swept away
Agony brings yet another day

Of fighting a battle with ghosts deep inside
Seeking the comfort that’s long been denied

A hint of sunlight glimmers

Off the water, shining blue

Breathing in the warmth of day

As I inhale the warmth of you

For every waking moment

And the time that’s in between

I can snuggle close again

Forget the hurt that’s been

For you my love, are comfort

In the battles I must face

You conquer all my enemies

With love’s everlasting embrace

Shall I walk outside my door

Unafraid to face the war

Of humans battling one another

Bullets flying, run for cover

Terror plagues this hallowed land

Acts of violence, carefully planned

 

For what? I have to wonder why.

How many tears must we all cry?

How many others have to die?

 

Until this carnage, at last does cease

And once again, we can live in peace

 

Remembering those in Orlando, and around the world, who have fallen to these senseless acts of violence.
