The Univited Guest
Why did you come to visit
why can`t you let me be
my hopes, dreams and aspirations
I now no longer see
My children lost their mother
My husband lost his spouse
dirty laundry, floors and dishes
you stole our tidy house
You came without a warning
just like a thief in the night
turning my life upside down
I had no chance to fight
Clouds, rain and thunder
everyday`s a storm
my thoughts have raged against me
I recognize no form
Everything has frozen over
I`m trapped beneath the ice
for someone to pull me out of here
I think??? it would be nice
Morning, noon and night
everythings a blur
it’s hard to form my words at times
you’ve left me with a slur
It’s hard to keep my head up
under the weight of defeat
I often measure the success of my day
by whether I brush my teeth
You come without a warning
you bring a nasty blow
nothing but destruction
for everything in tow
I know one day you will leave me
when there is nothing else to steal
the last thing that you want from me
is my ability to feel
One foot in front of the other
one breath in and out
I will again return to me
I pray without a doubt
