Terri Armstrong Poet Dramatic Monologue

Ease My Pain

Ease my Pain

I don’t know where it started,
I only know it’s raw and deep.
It’s set hard inside my soul,
It’s there for my spirit to keep.

I’m shattered and broken,
On the floor of my life.
The pain hurts in a place with no name.
My world is drowning in strife.

Yet here you are just watching me weep,
Not knowing how to react.
I would give anything if you’d ease my pain,
And give me my happiness back.

The sadness I endure is because of you,
Never caring how I feel.
My tears go unnoticed, and the ache is my own,
I never signed on for this deal.

I only want you to ease my pain,
Give to me your strength and shoulders,
To help me bear the burdens I carry,
I want to be free of when I’m older.

Please hear me cry and my screaming soul,
That only wants your devotion.
I still love you beyond all reason,
My tears could fill up an ocean.

Now I’ll wait for you to come,
To be by my side and see,
If you don’t come soon I’ll be gone,
And you’ll have everything but me.

Please Come Ease my Pain

James Chenevert August 10, 2011 at 4:13 PM I appreciate very much your comment on "If I could cry". But you yourself are exqusite in your oration of feelings. I give you a seven the highest there is. Keep up the good work. Jim Terri Armstrong August 10, 2011 at 4:52 PM Thanks, Jim. I was so happy to see a man write poetry and give credence to his heart and soul. Very good job, a seven as well, now that I know how to rate. LOL Have a wonderful day and thank you again.

Matthew Anish August 10, 2011 at 2:58 PM Powerful anti - war poem! Peace & blessings Matthew Anish Terri Armstrong August 10, 2011 at 3:07 PM You got anti-war from this? It's about my husband, e-husband, ignoring me and what his lack of attention and compassion had done to me. I'm glad you liked it though. Thank you so much.
