Running Out

if i am to cry give me tears to cry with let me not wonder with no prayers to pray with whilst in shock and disbelief my faith was decieved and just was my punishment that i was to grieve and here i am with not more that i want to give my fullest devotion a cup full of tears here i am facing my fears having lost someone i loved so dear and since that time over and over again my loss multiplied when new day begin if i am to sorrow with which words am i to lament do i still pray Gods will to be bent is my imposible, imposible and my mourning an endless drip which if i not turn the knob tightly it would awaken if i slept and yet i give it place as if it were owed is my endless love attempting to let go memories so happy make me sad no sweeter dreams than the dreams i have yet while my soul waits for tears eyes whisper they're not here and while my voice would cry to God my head has barely given a nod and though my heart should need to die my living it self says no, not i though it was my greatest loss today i cannot cry (Dedicated to those that suffer depression.)

We all have a down side or what is called depression. It is what we do with it when we find ourselves in that state. Many factors play a part in depression and John you have had a lot of loss in your life for the past year. You need time to morn for your losses and time is a great healer and so is faith and hope. My prayers are with all who suffer or are suffering today with depression. God Bless Phyl

You wrote this for both of us, John. I hope there are brighter days ahead for us. I'm tired of being depressed too. I'm focusing on humor as much as possible now. Love, Carolyn

I like this poem. Depression is easy to fall into and hard to get out of. Been in and out of it several times. Also, thanks for your comment on my work. Jancarl

through the darkest times there is always that glimmer of light called hope, it is up to the individual whether they choose to follow it...

Good one, John...Grief is normal and everyone has to grieve when they lose someone close to them..Each one has to grieve in their own way and own time..If it goes on too long then there is a problem that needs to be addressed..I enjoyed your work this morn..Your stopping by my work brought a ray of sunshine to my life..Sara
