Dark Days Are Here

Silent screams scorch the throat

Acrid air suffocates the lungs

And the tongue becomes numb

With words unspoken

As her dark days start approaching.

There could be solace in the dark abyss

She tells herself.

Except the pain keeps her alive

And her tears never rain

Because sunshine smiles keeps

Intruders at bay.

To share her misery

She secretly dreams.

Only who would care?

Questions in her mind scream.

Keep the monsters at bay

And the darkness is unseen

A mantra chanted but never believed.

The dark days are here

And as she walks among the light

Torment eats her inside.

Mocked by the happy faces

She draws comfort in knowing

Today is her last day.

Hope In the Face of Fear

If I were honest, I would tell you that I am scared of what you make me feel. But instead I look at you and act as cool as a breeze. These feelings are not strange to me for I have felt them all before. What is strange however is the intensity of these feelings I feel for you.

This could be absolutely nothing. This could be absolutely everything. Is there any sure way of knowing? Questions plague my mind as I look to you for some sign except I do not know what I should look for or where to begin.

So giving up on looking for signs I hope in vain. At least I have hope. Surely that is a good thing? I hope that one day I’ll figure it all out. I hope that peace will one day reign. I even hope, secretly, to one day love again.

Yes, I have hope. And if I were honest I’d tell you I’m hoping for the best. It may not be happily ever after but I hope it’s long enough to last forever. Whatever the outcome, be joy or heartache, I’m willing to take. Because honestly, wouldn’t you like to know too what would come of these feeling I harbour for you?

Remember

Here we are again,
Back to the place where it all began.
When you and I first took that chance,
When hope was fresh
And love was strong
And we never believed that it could go so horribly wrong.

Remember the first touch?
It sizzled and ignited the flames.
The tender embers
That later turned a blazing fire.

Remember the first kiss?
Soft and sweet as can be
Now only a bitter after taste lingers in the memory.


Remember the first love we made?
Hot and Steamy,
Nothing could compare to its beauty.

In the heat of the moment
Three sacred words were whispered
And set the stage for tragedy.

Remember the day,
That all signs of love proved to be brittle?
Two years it be,
When you said too little
And I too much
The day I broke my vow.
