Words which torture, words that blind,
Words which open, words that find.
All I love and all I fear,
Hidden in the keyboard here.
Words I've written lessen strife
Helps me make some sense of life
Emotions stirred tears that flow
Writing poetry helps memories go
Often wonder why and how
Will the hurt diminish now
Feelings on the paper form
Help to still the raging storm
Sleep is calling eyelids fall
As the tiredness hits the wall
Can't stop thinking things went wrong
Should have seen them coming along
Dreams haunt your face appear
One day the mist will clear
Then like the dawn the world anew
I can continue my life without you.
