Losing Hope

Silent ringing in my ear 
Side effects of my career

Holding hands with delicate flowers
Sharing joy with children for hours

Cleaning constant messes
Watching little girls in beautiful dresses

Never resting never sleeping
My inner alarm always beeping

Adding money, paying taxes
Sending business faxes

Try to soften the hard blow
that the children come to know

Moneys getting tighter
Always trying to be a fighter

Crying constant from the loss
Living off of Red Cross

Never seeing little girls 
off in another womens world

Not Today

She contemplates the single date 
which holds her from the edge

The knife is willing for the killing
but her birth date is soon to come

She couldnt forget, lost was the threat
She dropped her head in defeat

Slips the knife in the drawer
and walks slowly up the stairs

Not tonight not tomorrow 
Death shall not walk these halls
