One More Day

Here I am.... I'm alone again,,, seems like this.... is how it's always been... living in hope that someday things will change. I nod my head.... as I walk down the street .... flash a smile.... to those I meet, ,,,, but behind these empty eyes.... The pain remains the same. I tell myself I'll be ok.... that I can fake it.... through one more day..... so I drag myself up.... from this lonely bed. You've been gone.... for many a year.... for much longer.... than you were here... yet the tears I shed.... Still flow...... like raging rivers through my mind The scar you left.... across my heart .... And the way you tore... my world apart.... are reminders of how good ..... and bad..... life can be...... I'm looking for answers..... I know do not exist.... yet there's no other way .... than to persist.... as I search through the heartache ..... of these flowing memories. Perhaps I'll find.... in my tomorrow.... a joyful end .... to this sorrow.... and it is with this hope..... I carry on.... through..... one..... more..... day.
