You say that sorrow passes
Like the tides moving in and out
But the mind keeps me guessing
How the sorrow came about
To live in constant wonder
To be fair is not the life I need
But the mind constantly ponders
If the heart truly bleeds.
R.K.H
She woke up and took in a deep breath
Her heart was heavy and her eyes of a charcol black
She had been crying all night waiting to hear a child's cry
Her ears were open and her heart slowly braking as she wasted another day waiting and waiting
The sky turned dark as she layed in bed
Her heart still heavy , her eyes still black
She is still waiting to her a childs cry
Slowly she falls asleep , dreaming about her babies
She finally got to hold them but when it was time to come back to reality …
She never took in another deep breath
Her eyes never opened
Her skin pail as the piece of paper she wrote her good bye note
Her ears were closed and her heart was not beating
She never heard the childrens cryes .

A ray of light
of the golden red sun
Breaks the cold bitter night
I Repeat
The unspoken words
that were not meant to be
Drowning myself in infinite sadness
And melancholy the words
Written on a line
That you will be mine
And intense will be our love
That rises above
As a ray of light
Breaks through the bitter night
I need something, someone
Anything, anyone
To cure my sickness
I need someone to understand and comprehend the seriousness
Coughing up blood and a neverending stream of tears
Lumps in my throat
Stomach of butterflies
Loss of oxygen
Please help me
Please save me
From this neverending feeling of..
Love..
The time we shared ended far too soon my heart capsized and lost with out you like a ship
drowning in the sea living life with out you the waves cascade over my dead soul floating lost
and lonely with out you waves of pain crash in drowning me whole seas of tears begin to
flow constantly drowning in the sea of lifes sorrow swallowing the pain trying to just stay
afloat losing hope sinking fast gasping for air trying just to care if the current pulls me under
in the sea of lifes sorrow
Stop your sarrow, for now I am happy.
Stop your sarrow, bring the laughter of those great times we all shared.
Bring that shine in your heart, and take this as a lesson not as a mistake.
Be happy, for now my weakness and sarrow is gone.
To you my children you were my life..
You were my strength.
For know I'll be their for you, for the things to come.
Keep strength and hope, for as one day we shall hold hands, and walk on the
roads of....
No,
Sarrow,
Depression,
Weakness or Hate
Only,
Comfort,
Love and Laughter
and always forgiveness.
For you my childrem I am sorry for the mistakes I've made.
Please forgive me, and remember me when you are down
But..
Stop your sarrow, for now I am free.
