Again They Visit
Christmas is almost here
And just as I feared
Those ghosts came back
Even this year they appeared
Doubt came and sucked the happy from me
Smiled and sucked some more so greedy
Astonished I wasn't ready
My footing shaky not so steady
With an evil chuckle he zips away
The nightmare begins today
Sorrow slips in like thick goo
Sticking to everything even my memories of you
Leaving my soul heavy and blue
Then on cue
He sluggishly slips back out
It's gonna be bad never has sorrow followed doubt
I don't know what this is about
Then I hear the fevered shout
Anger came fast and with fury
Snapping and biting this time with a partner, worry
God I wish they'd hurry
As anger flares and worry sets in, the wounds are deep
Silence still I keep
Watching as my life is destroyed and my scars seep
Love dripping still not one peep
Love came forth smiling down
Not understanding why him, I frown
It didn't take long and the answer was given
Words seduce me reel me in
This is so much worse I seek my end
Only to fail again
Love cuts deep
Breaks bangs tearing nothing will it let me keep
Drowning in pain I can't even speak
Mind and body beaten and weak
Unbelievable that love hurts then at its worse it's very peak
On my knees I'm praying for the last visit to be him
I can't believe I survived them
My spirit dims
As I sit shaking weeping weak waiting for him or the return of them
Now just numb within
Why can't this nightmare my life end
