The War Within
When love lasts for years,
Through so many tears,
Their absence repeatedly stuns.
You think after the first,
It couldnt get worse,
Then the pace slowly turns to a run.
You search and you search,
You climb every perch,
But the weight of whats missed is a ton.
When you reach out for help,
To find only kelp,
Youll swear this is it, you are done.
When what you most seek,
Is darkened and bleak,
You wonder... where could be the sun?
But what scares you most?
You'd still run to that coast,
Like a bullet straight out of a gun.
The pull is too much,
You cant hold the clutch,
The force would leave anyone spun.
How do you cope,
With your dwindling hope,
While you watch all the threads come undone?
When all you desire,
Still roars like a fire,
You recall all the laughs & the fun.
But here's the worst part,
Its a fight with your heart,
The true war has only begun!
But since all that light,
Made all that dark bright,
You now see the parts that you shun.
And now you must hear,
Your shadow speak clear,
Though this is no fight to be won.
At the end you'll find peace,
A calm that wont cease...
Where you and your shade can be One.
