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
