Bitter Emptiness
I'm no light in anyones life.
Apart from being titled a wife.
There are no children to kiss goodnite.
Happiness is no where in my sight.
Hopes and dreams fill up the day.
At night demons come out and play.
Too much drama with too little laughter.
I want my happily ever after.
When I cannot see a rainbows smile.
When disappointment seems to pile.
When dismal thoughts fill up my time.
I struggle for just one more rhyme.
My naked soul cries silently.
For a sparkle of sincereity.
As a woman losing her identity.
Seeks traces of humanity.
Who knows what tomorrow brings.
Struggling to fly with broken wings.
When the song of yesterday sharply stings.
I try to remember my favorite things.
How did it all become such a mess.
I should accept for nothing less.
My life I guess I must confess.
Is so filled with bitter emptines
