This portal lies before me
Tis blackened, without light
I promise to never forget you
As I fade into the night
Yet look for me, come morning
O’er the lake, a frosted kiss
So you’ll forever feel me
Though I’ve faded into the mist

A quiet moment, alone on a swing
Hoping my heart can remember to sing
Floating on air, in the bright morning light
Knowing full well, I must keep up the fight
To conquer this monster, restless in me
I can no longer take all of life’s sympathy
For those who don’t know, it feels like you’ve died
From all of those emotions you’ve kept deep inside
I look not for pity, from eyes as they glare
But hope one day, I am not ashamed to share
The burdens I lay at my very own feet
Trying so hard, to fight this defeat
I’ve locked it away, yet it’s close to my heart
The sadness I feel, like I’m falling apart
Not knowing which way I can turn and still care
Falling deeper and deeper into empty despair
Til the chirp of a bird sings its own happy song
And in that very moment, my heart sings along
Rejoicing, he sings, such a sweet melody
His reminder, that happiness is waiting for me

In the hours approaching darkness, I looked up to a clouded sky
Hoping God could hear me, and the words within my sigh
And soon the gray of night, parted with a shimmering star
And I knew deep in my heart, that it was you, from afar
Already watching over, all you called your own
With the grace of God, you shine, from your everlasting home
RIP dear friend…..
I lost a very dear friend today. I didn’t know what else to do but write…. he holds a special place in my heart and I will miss him….

#poetry, #TBT, emptiness, loss, Night Owl Poetry, poems, Restless, Throwback Thursday
Restless nights
No sleep in sight
Tossing and turning
Yearning
For your arms around me
Your love to surround me
Telling me everything’s alright
This silence it deafens me
Blinding with nihility
Longing for closure
From this hollow exposure
Lost in an emptiness
Leaving me breathless
No longer willing to fight
