After sinking into oblivion Only the fractured soul Knows your sorrows Your feeble hopes Your fervent battles When stepping outside yourself You see a world so big When alone Everything is so small Covered with a thick slice of darkness In this inner chaos You owe nothing but yourself That once belonged To his anxious dream Now, a precious memory That belongs only to you Engulfing the past Is not a life forward Your mind sinks deeply Into a fog of ageing sunsets Filled with a sustainable pain That never dies And always bleeds Till life becomes a walking shadow Of what once you have been You try a smile, a new make up It is your social mimicry Of delight and comfort That doesn’t reinvent you Your thoughts deepen Your tears drown the pillow You still strive for love You hunger to be loved But he is up in Heaven and His voice is silent At the heart of this silence Is your soulful prayer For healing That will give you new wings A new love desire And the fragrance of a new life
