The Battle

Missing image
Please don't abandon my heart aching
As I suffocate from Love's distance
Silence can be so penetrating
With the rejection of repentance

This battle within, seeps through my mind
As the thoughts I ponder into seep
To where my heart traced in rewind
On concrete floors, my eyes gently weep

I cannot bear, no more bitterness
For I've tasted; rushing, bloody streams
Could I be more, if I just confess
You're my antidote for broken dreams

I beg, please polish, my tainted soul
Salvage any good you ever saw
Inside, I'm so weak, please mend me whole
For you're the reason I breathe at all

    On concrete floors, my eyes gently weep
    As I search forever in my soulful sleep

    Very sad Timothy

    I wish you a better day than this one. I have been there and was miserable as your poem speaks. It is painfull to even remember those times.

    Sometimes we have to be reduced to less than nothing, before we can be re-built again. It isn't The Light's favorite passtime, but often de do not leave any other choice. As long as we exist inside this physical plane there will be pain, things to learn and hope to cherish. Even when we are down and out. That is done for us and will take place at the proper time, in the right place, never too early, never too late. And while await such events from taking place we write poems such as these to help us survive the hardship we endure, praying to become whole. Thank you for creating and sharing, my friend and good luck in the contest. Take care,

    Chris
