There Is Relief To Your Grief

I lost my train of thought I'll give it my best shot, Giving it the strength I got These tears and frivolous fears I've fought for a thousand years I've dreamt these frightening nightmares I've shattered many mirrors with splinters Just to get to you Cuz I need to And I want to And I lost my train of thought These notions were only left to be written down These emotions worn me out like a funeral gown Given up all this depression Not to mention all the murky tension That gave me nothing much apprehension Your touch is the freezing air conditioning in detention… Your efforts and encouragement are not all for naught But, I lost my train of thought on this darksome, dismal lot We all want pure happiness Not this corruptible distress Reject dangerous distress in excess That leaves you with little progress I know I was once a mess, But you are not more or less Can't express the success of an access to the disposal of distress In despair, yet hopeful for what lies ahead…I’m not here to impress But, to express these notions and emotions and press on regardless People seem to disturb the peace with their commotion nevertheless People brought out the monster so low in me People brought out the angel they’ll never see I lost my train of thought Yes, I’ve lost my midnight train I’m the boiling vegetables in the pot Lost in regretful, yet radiant rain I’m far from you by a lot and that’s a lot You are something new, golden grain While… I’m the rain in the drain Denial… Punctures my brain insane I can't go on with life It welcomes in sheer strife This plastic gladness leaves me to rot I pity the heartless and mean-spirited by a long shot You’re welcoming in sheer strife believe it or not I know the words of Wisdom that I’ve been taught And I lost my train of thought I didn't need to I didn't mean to But, I want you You're the one to make me feel two You're the other pair to my shoe Haven't a clue You never knew And I lost my train of thought But, one thing for certain, All these lines are not for naught Open up the dusty, old curtain Relief is there if you look closer…and closer… Until you realize there is a true cure Grief is only for the faithless thief in error This unbearable pain – you will endure Let me be the remedy to your lack of fervor This genuine, empathetic side of me is clear Crystal clear like your departure's dangerous zone I know you feel on your own and, well, all alone Apologies all year round…without a sound… But, my guilt doesn’t weigh a single pound You murdered me with uncertainty sevenfold You act so unaware of the times we are facing Relationships of all kinds have grown cold Yet, I still believe and I will do way more believing
