#Pain #Sadness #Tears
I’m exhausted No fight left My lids so heavy Rocks mark my eyes No tears left
A little boy tugs at his mothers arm while she ignores him. Tears springing to his eyes he wonders why.
My pen is ravenous today My broken spirit Guiding its every stroke The blurred words Building rivers from my tears
I thought I knew What was love That I would recognize it When it came to the door Greet it with open arms
Night has fallen Once again Leaving me alone With my thoughts Their incessant prattle
You look at me Like I’m some prize on display Pride glimmering in your eyes As you smile encouragingly AND
We wrap ourselves in bubbles The numbness keeping us safe From the pain we hide from Silence filling gaping holes In our hearts as we try to forget
Starting Over There are no words The silence stretching between us As we struggle to breach the gap Our breathing labored
My fingers gliding across the keys In a race to keep up with My wayward thoughts Drifting through me head Things demanding to be out
An escape from the pain Someplace soft to fall When the world knocks me down And the ground is hard. Decorated by the hearts
The world is an ugly place Filled with disease Secrets buried deep within Betraying the lies we hide behind Spewing all our sordid crimes
Guarantees a long painful death ...
A fluke encounter Letter after letter Turning me inside out Each new exchange Giving me
Here is the thing Before you came along I was doing just fine I knew the score My days all had an order
The blank page stares back at me Mocking me with his taunting glare… The hands on the clock ticking - t… chanting, “Failure, failure, failu… My mind is frozen. I’m blank.
