The Perfect Crime

Rain falling on my heart Wind blowing through my soul Tears rolling down my face Missing parts that make me whole Evil dreams haunt me They linger in my waking state And though I have many blessings in my life the sadness stays with me; lying in wait Searching for a hole to dig into Someplace it can find in me To tear down my happiness To set the sadness free Free to destroy my soul and mind And wound those around me I love I pray to stay well and happy But I know sadness fits my heart like a glove I do everything to fight it Optimism is my best defense I am thankful my blessings are many And to have darkness overcome me now just doesn't make sense But I know misery is waiting Patiently for the perfect time To creep up silently inside me to kill me from the inside- The perfect crime. So save me now from myself keep me happy and well Though i'm free from my chains For now-but can I stay free forever? Only time will tell. 8-21-08
