Breathing

Fallen angels, broken wings in sorrows arms, desperation sings. Silent tears and wordless lies, a moment of pain where innocence dies. Bid a sad farewell to glory past, and years of joy that went too fast. Apologies for angers sake, A life you give for the years you take. A shadow of a man, a hollow shell, Trading glimpses of heaven for an eternity in hell. Waiting for redemption that doesn't exist Weeping for a dead love and an almost forgotten kiss Another long night with no will to survive, Breathing still... yet not alive.

My writing is so often a kind of purge. I wake up feeling gray and static filled, and the words seem to quell the inner noise. I have experienced great sadness in my life and these pieces help me move past it. James
