One Single Kiss, a Poem For Mark
Floating in an endless sea of hopelessness
sinking steadily toward the eternal darkness
whispered promises of the overwhelming abyss
Yet, saved from it all by One Single Kiss.
Heart and soul, both, laid bare to all
brought on by my self-induced fall
unable,or unwilling, to hear my rescuer's call
Still, One Single Kiss mended it all.
Fear and depression combining into one
no strength left to face a new day's sun
heartache ending all desire to have fun
But, One Single Kiss, and that was all gone.
Unable to sleep either day or night
unable to remember my soul being light
all desires and dreams - lost from sight
And it took One Single Kiss to set it right.
Feeling unloved, by even myself
unable to trust myself as well
every minute, lived in the bowels of Hell
But I found out that One Single Kiss was all that could help.
