Echoes in the Dark
I feel so broken, pieces laid all about,
Broken all around, from the inside and out.
I soulfully cry, yet my screams go unheard,
Not an uttering of sympathy not a consoling word.
If it was a wound i could see, i could see it patched,
But the destruction inside, laid waste there's no match.
I cannot find the inner peace i so richly deserve,
Nor the strength deep within to give me the nerve.
I can't cry out any louder my voice has gone hoarse,
My sorrowful eyes and torn heart, in silent remorse.
Please save me from this torment, a rending intolerable,
Please save me from this agony, this living is unbearable.
Dark swirling clouds, a final rest, where the day's an end,
Somewhere i can escape to my dreams, my long lost friend,
Battered and wounded, I try to find my own feet,
and manage a smile, to your smiling face i greet.
So in the dark and shattered is where i am laid bear,
Not a single voice back, sullen and broken, void of care.
Walking in shadows, all the blank expressionless faces i see,
As if i was translucent, a ghost an apparition i be.
So again i go to lay my head, with a grim smile and hope,
tomorrow to be joy, not wake to a pillow that I've soaked.
So tomorrow and the next i will try with a brave face,
All things must come to an end, even pain must run its race.
