His thoughts

Linger quietly

In the stillness of night

He can no longer feel her

She has left him, in spite

Of his pleads to her heart

Til the end of his days

Vowing always to love her

Then, the pain starts to weigh

Heavily, the aching, in his chest

This wasn’t what he had planned

Realizing now, the absence of her

Is really more than he can stand

A tremor, of which, there is no control

Wrestles my being, invading my soul

Carries me down, into the darkened abyss

How much longer, can I go on like this!

Looking for mercy, from the pain that’s inflicted

The horrors, and heartache, that have me restricted

No movement can ease, this demon inside me

Under my pillow, perhaps I can hide me

From dealing with this, again and again

And others who look, with obvious disdain

They know not what it is, I am truly feeling

Or how much destruction, I’ve been concealing

Am I never to find the answers I seek?

Or is it just that I’ve gotten much too weak?

Should I try to put this pain, and misery to rest?

And forget all this time, I am still quite oppressed

I do not understand
Why time passes by
Yet stands still

Why a moment can be fleeting
Yet we are caught in it

Why we hate to love
Yet love to hate

Is it that we are
Afraid of feeling the heartache
Of time gone by
But unafraid of causing the heartbreak
Without a moment’s loss

Afraid of defining our own worth
Within ourselves
But unafraid to define others inadequacies
As they stand before us

How can you say you are living a life
For the moments, the time
The love and the hate
The heartache and the heartbreak
Yet claim to have no life worth living
I do not understand

It trickles down my cheek

Washes away the yesterdays

Chases away the madness

Cleanses my aching heart

The Gentle Touch of Rain…..

You’re always there to catch me
No matter how far I fall
When the ache in my heart
Is too much to bear
You’re the anesthetic
You soothe away the pain
When darkness blinds me
You’re the light that guides me
When I’ve lost myself
You find me and comfort me
You revive my soul
Embracing my fear
You take me in your arms
Holding me close
Till the demons disappear
