Control

I've found myself screaming in the night
I'm always crying out your name
Then when I wake in the dawns early light
My life here is yet still the same
It's an endless fight
With these feelings I cannot tame
Yes those moments, memories, and all the fantasies you are so deep inside my soul
From every waking hour to the dark of night over me they have control

I'm the one here with whom is left emotionally so helpless and hopeless
All this love I still feel for you in my heart is a door that never closes
I can't get out I'm in this way to far and so extremely deep
Yet from my eyes tears very rarely seem to seep
Even through all my pain that I still feel constantly from the tears I'm somewhat numb
I'm getting stronger because of it open up your eyes wide and see who I've become
But at the same time I'm still week because I get lost inside my own mind
The memories steal from me sweet time
The sweet and precious time with you that should be mine
Those moments they won't let me let you go
So therefore over me you are the only one who will ever have complete and total control

And yet still that is what you seem to continue to fight
Spread your wings and let your heart take flight
You can't stop these feelings for me
Anymore than I can stop mine for you
You very much know it's true
For if we could it would've already been done
Instead we are left standing in love without a gun
It's been said true love is suicide
Leaves ones heart and soul with nowhere to hide
I'm the one you can't let go
I'm the one who is deep down inside your heart and soul
Over you I'm the one who has control
...now it's time for you to see it


A Tear In the Sand

Sitting on a beach
Alone I stare out to sea
I watch the waves grow and die
Endlessly on the rocky shore
A single black bird circles above
Watching me watching it
It speaks to me in words I do not understand
Clouds out on the horizon
Dark and windswept
Edged by gold from the failing sun
Flashes of lightening
Filling my eyes with fire and pain
A newspaper flies by on a tortured wind
Carried miles across the water
Eventually landing across my legs
Black print on white paper
Saying that a child has died
Killed by abuse and neglect
Buried in a shallow grave
Left alone by those who “loved” her
A tear falls down my cheek
Falling into the sand
Washed away by the next wave
Never to be seen again

If I Had Been Born In Another Time

Would all thoughts and ideals
have been different, if I had been born
in another time, not in one as sophisticated as ours?
I probably wouldn't have been torn,
but greeted by love, and not have known scorn...
not running and hiding, or seeking maternal protection.   


Controversies and dilemmas, offering doubt but little hope,
wouldn't have entered this mind and made it grieve,
how beautiful would have been the scenery of a serene living  
without the obstacles that disrupted my enthusiasm in earlier days;
and all those weren't the irresistible forces drawing me to elusive happiness,
or that dream I tried to grapple, to aggrandize my scope.  

 
If I had been born in another time,
I would have been among amiable companions,
not the ones who judge me by worth and looks,
and I wouldn't wear this amulet to guard off evil eyes,
even superstition would begone from me
with my astronomical sign that has deluded me.  


Disenchant me stars, and let me pray to a real God,
a God I won't dishonor with my egotism, sin and misery...
hoping that no discontent will dishearten me somehow,
while watching the wretchedness of old days dissipate along
with the wrongful desires of the flesh that enslaved me;
how will grace return into me...shouldn't I be entirely holy?

Premium Member Inside the Outside

I'm standing on the inside of the outside of my dreams
It's misty grey, I'm so alone and down my cheeks tears stream

This is the place I have frequented from the age of five
And every time the mist lures me here, I wonder why I'm alive

It whispers to me and tells me why no one seems to care
Sitting alone and seldom talking whilst into space I stare

   So young and safe you should have been like many girls and boys
   Your innocence, your purity taken, becoming one of his toys

   I lure you here to comfort you, a soul so now alone
   My soothing mists surrounding you in dreamed safety roam

   No one will ever harm you when you enter into my world
   Solitary you are presently, but one day you'll be that girl

The morning sunshine awakens me, her rays shining on my face
As I slowly drift from the soothing mists that nightly save my grace

I head off into my day as I have done for the past fourteen years
Knowing when night time comes, the dreamed mists allay my fears

For how long I will feel alone, my thoughts honestly cannot say
From five years old to nineteen as I am, I know I'll speak one day

The Edge of Darkness

The Edge Of Darkness

Standing at the edge of darkness
I wonder where the light is
No shadows
No stars
Not even the band of gold which follows a sunset
Before me there is simply nothing
Behind me everything I knew is gone
No longer existing even in my memory
There are no grays or blues
Not even differing shades of black
Sounds of screams
Shrieks of pain travel an eternity before they reach me
Yet, no matter how I strain I cannot see their source
Before long I sit on what I assume is rock
My senses trick me
Making me see things that are not there
Never were there
Yet, sitting in the total darkness I am content
There is no one to hurt me
No one to lie to me
No one to leave me
As far as I can tell pain and hurt is centuries away
Knowing that one thing
I can finally be happy just sitting in the dark


The Rise and Fall

You and I, we together, rose above
And then with a crashing, we together fell
You showed me unconditional love
But now I live in pure hell

You took the time to make me see
And you widened my blind eyes
So that I could believe that someone could really truly love me
Family, friends, and God now put up with my cries

I'm left here to live my life without you
But do you really think you can just wish me away
I'm still in love with you, I and know you feel the same about me too
Can't keep those feelings pushed down, they have no where to go because they refuse to 
stray

One day you will come to find
My memory you just can't leave behind
And that love, true love, is not just how you make it, and it don't have to be blind
Open your heart and eyes, it's still me right there in the back of your mind

It's my voice that will forever haunt you in your dreams and reality
You will never be able to get away from the sounds of a woman that intensely loves only you
Time has seemed to have cast a spell over you, break it, break out of your fantasy
Once you clearly see it again, you will know what to do

Yes you and I, we together, did rise
And then with a crashing we did fall
Honest unconditional love is never in disguise
We can still have each other again, forever we can still have it all

My Guiding Star

She was a lamp of light unto me:
The light was a guiding star,
Full of love and affection.
I dwelled in the warmth of the light.
She fed me and I grew with her thoughts,
She sowed the seed of virtues in me
And watered it day in and day out. 
She taught me knowledge and wisdom.
The light shone in me and darkness scared to touch me.
I crossed rugged roads, yet she was beside me;
Yet He is ever with me carrying in His Arms.
She was my teacher of simplicity:
I grew simple; reared modest; nurtured meek,
She taught me the prayer of silence,
And in silence I learnt patience.
Thorns would prick me; yet she treated me,
She would never let the blood ooze out,
And I would watch her tears rolling down her cheeks,
And I knew she wept for my pain.
We have been walking on the path of virtues
Holding our hands together in the bond of love.
FORLORN! Her hands fell down, and I’m shaken:
I perceived the pallor on her white face,
It seemed it wept for me in silence,
And I knew even in silence she can’t forget me.
The Lord hath taken the lamp from me;
Yet the light of the lamp dwells in me.
I wept at her motionless corpse, 
Tears rolled down my cheeks.
But could she know I had wept for her departure?
But I had known she wept for my pain
When thorns had pricked me in her presence.
The lamp is no more with me;
Yet the Lord shines in me thro’ my parents.

She was a lamp of light unto me,
The light was a guiding star
Full of love and affection.

If I Am Forgotten .... Wendy Read Me a Story

If I am forgotten
I want you to know


as the blinding light of summer
turns to fall, 
a shimmer,
daffodils turn to seed,
drifting on the breeze
I am walking to forget you


another part of me
runs eternity to forgive you,
once I was within 
thee a breath of life
binding our blood
your joy was my blessing
your sadness, shared


Anzac and incense
my sense of you, 
whenever the terror of night
grips me,
thoughts wander to safer times
sleeping back to back with you


bright red tartan splashes my memories
huddled in linen castles,
our torches held high
searchlights to adventure


you taught me to walk 
maybe even talk


and then one day you forgot me


if I am forgotten
I want you to know


far and wide my travels
have taken me walkabout,


but I never could forget you

Silently Cry......

I sit here and silently cry
For I feel life is passing me by.

I may smile and I may laugh
But that is not how I feel, not by half.

Inside I am just a giant mess,
Am told it is nothing but stress.

Not a soul truly sees,
The pain is bringing me to my knees!

Every choice and decision I second guess.
But how can I do anything less?

I have no idea what to do. 
Where am I going? Not a clue!

I am just wondering aimlessly along
Feeling like no where I belong.

Who am I and who am I meant to be?
Does anyone know? Please tell me!

I am tired of being lonely.
Tired of looking for my one and only.

Tired of being so cold and numb.
Tired of being treated like I am dumb.

Inside I have a heart of gold
It is not something that can be sold.

To the right person it will be given freely.
To the right man. I promise. Really.

Loving me is not ever going to be easy.
Not for the feint of heart or queasy.

But will be well worth it to the one in the in the end,
To take this heart and make it finally mend.

My World of Silence

Silence can be deafening, louder than any noise could make
from this nightmare of loneliness, if I would only now awake
my dreams are an escape, they provide me with some relief
allowing me a distraction, for my mind to ignore my grief

Dreaming of the sun and its warmth, true happiness I find
understanding for the first time in my life, bliss of the blind
only to awaken, and for this temporary recess to abandon
once again reminded, of things that only know to sadden

As the wind blows, its breeze is caught on my face
yet despite the intensity, my tears it cannot erase
the stillness of night, just continues to remind me
being trapped in my loneliness, I can never be free

My cries ride the wind, carrying them to a place unknown 
stirring my feelings, feelings that only the dejected bemoan
and when the tears run out, it is clear that I did finally reach
that bottomless pit called despair, whose borders I now breach

Everything in this world, with its counterpart was it created
without this, happiness would forever remain belated
yet we become despondent that so many, alone do they exist
hearts consumed by fire, emptiness that continually persists

Where is the wisdom, and from where is the knowledge
where can we understand, and come to acknowledge
this world has a Creator, from whom everything comes into being
whatever has been ordained for us, there can simply be no fleeing

In the end, I find solace in the fact that it is never too late
if we learn how to be patient, He rewards those willing to wait
so do not give up hope, G-d saves with the blinking of an eye
first put your faith in Him alone, and stop asking the reason why
