Debbie Duncan Poet Dramatic Verse

Dear God

Dear God, I said to him
There is a stone where my heart should be
No matter how deep I dig within myself
I can't seem to feel anything anymore 
I watch the little girl with the dirty face 
She's eating ice cream and has smeared it

Dear God, As I  said to him
There is a stone where my heart should be
I have all these memories floating  within 
I can't seem to remember how they feel
Pain seems to be dripping from the walls 
You just think and there it is as always

Dear God, I  was saying to him
There is a stone where my heart should be
It's hard to look out from the world within
Sometimes there is a dis - connect 
Fantasy and reality seem to be mixing
Then you just don't know where to begin

Dear God, I should have said to him
There is a stone where my heart should be
Things might be different if not for the dance
Yes I'm sure, things would be different 
Things changed in my world after the dance
It gets lonely when you live inside your mind
   
Dear God, I said to him
There is a stone where my heart should be
I thought there was love, yes I'm sure of it
Though you took that from me didn't you 
Nothing and no one can help me now
So I'll just stay here, within myself

Duke Beaufort March 22, 2017 at 5:25 PM I feel the pain, repair and loneliness. It's part of the suffering you have had to endure. I hope your life is much better now. I am thinking, hoping and sending you good vibes through the ether. Later.
