Down In a Hole

The time for love has come and gone The black night always enshrouds the dawn Tears rain down and here I sit Clutching the crimson flesh beneath Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved Constant pressure leading me to my grave I hate how you make me feel like I'm only a kid Five more scars to add to the hundred I hid Don't run away... Just please come to me... Don't run away... My soul wants to bleed... I thought we'd fly But my wings have been so denied Down in a hole as my arms cry their crimson tears I'd fought so hard to ward off all of my fears I loved you so dearly but you were lying the whole time The thought of a future without you is a mountain I can't climb Don't run away... It's perfect right here... Don't run away... I held you so dear... I thought we'd fly But my wings have been so denied All that I've done was all for naught The pain suffered and battles fought The world's dark and now I see I'm just a child to you all.

It is exciting to see the replenishment of new poetry here everyday when I log on. I enjoy the diverse poetry so I am never bored by most of what I read. I am happy to have read your poetry this morning Derek. I hope that you might be able to find the time to read some of the other poetry here also. Love, Carol
