Already made sure I locked the door
Bury my head in my hands
Try to block out all life’s demands
Squeeze my eyes so tight
Everything goes black as night
If I can’t see it, it isn’t real
Once again I attempt not to feel
Warm tears stream down this face
Slipping over skin with so much grace
Staining cheeks with pain and regret
Leaving hopes abandoned and wet
Falling deeper into this misery
Beg not to be overcome by a memory
Shaking slightly I open my eyes
Forcing away thoughts of goodbyes
I must not be pulled back into the past
Not after I have moved on at last
Standing up, I wipe away the tears
Take a deep breath and blink away the fears
Everything will eventually end up alright
One day I won’t cry like this at night
Soon enough that time will come
There will be nothing to run away from
Soon enough all will be clear
And all the confusion will disappear

Black as Night

Contributed by Tru2Myself on Wednesday, 2nd November 2005 @ 10:50:50 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

Sit cross legged on the floor
Already made sure I locked the door
Bury my head in my hands
Try to block out all life’s demands
Squeeze my eyes so tight
Everything goes black as night
If I can’t see it, it isn’t real
Once again I attempt not to feel
Warm tears stream down this face
Slipping over skin with so much grace
Staining cheeks with pain and regret
Leaving hopes abandoned and wet
Falling deeper into this misery
Beg not to be overcome by a memory
Shaking slightly I open my eyes
Forcing away thoughts of goodbyes
I must not be pulled back into the past
Not after I have moved on at last
Standing up, I wipe away the tears
Take a deep breath and blink away the fears
Everything will eventually end up alright
One day I won’t cry like this at night
Soon enough that time will come
There will be nothing to run away from
Soon enough all will be clear
And all the confusion will disappear

The flow was perfect, this peice was a relief to me. I don't want to be presumptious and say i know exactly how you feel or how you felt when you wrote this. But what i got from this was something of a miracle because today i felt exactky what your poem described to me. I had it all except the one day it will be better part. Reading this really inspired me and gave me a sense of hope. It is nice to know not that others are suffering but that the suffering can overcome together. I have derived strength from your strength and i hope that when you need it someone will be there to offer you the same. Many thanks.

I agree with BEBE allow God into your life and soon your pain will be healed. Maybe not always as soon as we expect it, but it will be healed none the less.
