Night has fallen Once again Leaving me alone With my thoughts Their incessant prattle
Disappointment is everywhere I lo… It is in the faces of those I adm… And shown in their actions I wish I could fix everything All the hurt feelings
A fluke encounter Letter after letter Turning me inside out Each new exchange Giving me
I don’t want to see. How empty I am on the inside. My heart, shattered. My spirit, broken. My soul, torn.
My pen is ravenous today My broken spirit Guiding its every stroke The blurred words Building rivers from my tears
A little boy tugs at his mothers arm while she ignores him. Tears springing to his eyes he wonders why.
Looking in the window I’m frozen in place As I watch the scene inside I’m looking at the woman Who claims to be an outsider
Waking in a cold sweat Choking for breathe Scared to death The shadows prancing In the darkness
Forgiveness is the hardest gift to… Tears clouding our vision Our sadness turning to madness Hiding our hearts beneath Thick layers of rust
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.
You hide behind your big smile But I know you wear a mask And I see the lies you hide I see the scarred fragile soul Cracking beneath the weight.
My ceiling is dreary The white paint Paled from the years Flaking and peeling I stare morbidly content
Starting Over There are no words The silence stretching between us As we struggle to breach the gap Our breathing labored
I loved my father He was a great man He was the worst of kind Sometimes he made me want to die Others he showed me how to shine
Stupid Boy I wish you could have seen How much you were loved Maybe if you had known... Things could have been different
