Groans of Loneliness

I wince in pain
I stare at the darkness
How long is it going to be?
My head is hurting
My eyes are spinning
It’s like my very last breath

I feel my spirit leave my body
 But back it comes
All over again
It comes and goes
Like its been struggled for
I gasp for air
I wrestle for breath
The pain is more than I can take

I do this rejoicing
Taking my last breath 
Is like taking in fresh air
As I reflect on my life
All my love, all I had
I gave so freely without a word
All I got was so many pretenses
And so much lies around

All my love I could not withdraw
Because war weld up inside of me
My heart against my mind
A battle that caused me so much pain 
Not much peace of mind was left
My heart loved and loved on
My mind wanted more than revenge
So on my bed I daily await 
Death in its bright shining armor
