Bittersweet Solitude
All my thoughts evolve around you
Like planets orbiting the dazzling sun
All my dreams were spent on you and you were my priceless diamond
But, all of my hope is shriveling away
Like paper in the raging fire
All of the shards of my heart are pierced together by your love
I put my faith in you and I forgave you for all the wrongs you've committed
I put my trust in you and I pray for your safety every night and day
I sometimes catch myself thinking of you...writing poems about you
before the dawn...before the sun rises from the east...after the sun descends from the west
All that I've cherished in my life
All that I've buried underneath the ground...
Sank to the bottom of the perilous sea... I was caught in the waves of motion
all the memories, like broken chords, ring in my head...marinating me with bittersweet emotion
All hope turned to ash
When you deserted me
When you let go of my arms...
no wonder your heart is cold and hardened with independence
When you left me in the solitude
When you slammed the front door
You never signaled your leave
You never waved goodbye
I can feel you break free from your chains that held you captive
The night awakens the mind of the poet...as he writes words of bittersweet pleasure
oh dear beloved poet,
you'd do me a favor by
writing words of hope
Carving me words of love...
I'm dying for your light
I'm flying with ravishing delight
Watch me take flight!!
I'm yearning for some light
To shun out my nightmares
And replace them with radiant dreams
Do you still believe in me?
Do you forgive me for blaming you for my sins and downfalls?
I dream of being carefree
I feel the need to fly away
I feel like victory's close at hand
Can't wait to arrive in His promiseland
I dream of letting go of daily worries
I feel the need to brush aside my dismay
And relieve the pain
From the aftershocks of my sorrows
And hope for a brighter day
To thrill my heart today...I say hello to each and every tomorrow
I can feel the rhythm of your heart beats
Drowning all the rest of the sounds
It's distracting me
From pondering suicide and selfish distress
But I'm going with life's ride...my hope hasn't dried
I won't hide in the dark...the light will soon find me and unveil me
You saved me from drowning in my misery pool
You utter words that fit the moment... I count every single one a joy
Somehow you're my cure to my depression and you make me feel happy
