Fond Memories

I lay cold and alone in complete and utter darkness
Never again to feel the sunlight upon my face
Alone yet never again lonely, no laughter, no tears, no more fears
Gone is the longing for companionship, the burden of love, nor hatred
Did I wish this? Is this bliss? Have I done this to myself? Or has life dealt me a cruel blow? Unable to right certain wrongs
Gone are the troubles we all must face, but, gone too are the joys
Perhaps not so many fond memories, but at least a few.
Surely, a few...

The Greatest Gift of All

Looking around me at the snow covered vista, time stands still

Getting through each day without you takes sheer will

Everywhere I go, I see your disapproving stare
So different, yet so much alike, quite an odd pair

Blame is a wasted emotion, but it can etch into your heart

I know I let you down. I wish we could have a fresh start

To ask your forgiveness, I know I don't deserve, I would be at your beck and call

To see you smile again, would be the greatest gift of all

Reflection

I see your face everywhere I look
Your eyes haunt my days and nights
Do I know you? I feel that I should. Who are you?
The intense sadness, the desperate loneliness
You seem so familiar, yet I struggle to remember
I feel your despair, the emptiness deep inside your soul
Feeling bereft, I turn off the light, the reflection in the mirror vanishes into the darkness
