Losing You
Above the shadows you lurk in remorse.
Beneath the stairs I weep in recourse.
I needed you then and I need you now.
I can’t tell you when but I can tell you how.
secrets among us
nights of pure hell are alive
confusion sets in
I believed in myself more than you ever could believe in me. I thought we had it all. We fell into a creek by the log cabin and drowned into nothingness. I could have sworn you loved me. I needed the daylight beams to shower my soul’s contentment. We agreed with spoken vows and you left without a word. Explanations have not been found and remorse has caught up in between the sheets. You...flying backwards….and…me…on my knees. Forgiveness is harsh during times like these. How can I let go of the one thing that saved me many years ago? Because of your betrayal I am left alone and frail. Now all I do is pray and hope for a new life…without you. Contradictories are found in the shadows you created. No more time for love and too much time for grieving.
broken forgiveness
shielded by the black regret
your needs were not met
Above the dark skies you lurk in goodbye.
Beneath the solid concrete I lay and cry.
I needed you when I was falling in love.
I can’t tell you why but I can tell you enough.
