Lately
I opened my eyes today
Sleepless slumber entangling me
Severing dreams from reality
Memories like rewinding a tape
Forever lost in thought
For I lament my loss
Never again will I learn to walk
Held so high above the earth
Soaring above the pavement chalk
Never again will I feel that embrace
Warm arms to hold me tight
A gentle hand to soothe my pace
Ive tried to breath lately
Patient breathes invite coughs
Skipping reduced to a mere crawling pace
I open my eyes and there lies your face
No smile or tears
Just your empty gaze tearing me apart
For I loved you once for many years
I can feel when you were gone
For I myself have no more heart
A loss of words, though many thoughts
Forgive me father for I am lost
I miss every little fight
Whether mother or father, matters not
To watch as faith was lost
To hear your voice as it's now gone
Weakening me by the minute
For every hug I didnt want
I need it now
Though I lie barehanded
I cant find that feeling of love
One must wonder how
The sound of those around me
Their laughter eases my pain
Then the following silence
The coming rain
I would never dare call one my friend
For I have no right
I would not dare bring unto them, my night
When I hear their laugh
I know I can heal them some
For I wish I could love
But like every morning sun
My heart still withers
My end still comes
