Stuck in time, sick with shame
I know not of who I am
Why I am here
Daily struggles become ugly nightmares
Rearing their gargoyle heads above the ground I'm sinking in
I can't feel any light offering me refuge
I can't see the dark though I feel it so near
What have I done to deserve this?
Why am I burdened with guilt?
My tomb opened, my coffin set for me
Yet I refuse to lay within
Refuse to let time take me
And lock me in
No God nor Guardian Angel to help me
I am alone in the world, it is scaring me
Your lies ringing in my ears, clear as tolling bells
I feel nothing except hate, fear and sheer Hell
I am the bastard child of this disease
This deceit
Nothing can save us
From light to darkness

Poetry: Grief
by Sid de Knees
Hey Dad, I love you.
Oh father promise me, you'll live,
if it should be that I die first,
don't ever starve yourself of life,
or
It is four years now since that awful call
And still I cannot stand up proud and tall
My mind crawling in darkness round
where
Trapped in memories of our yesteryears,
that are locked in archives in my mind,
I can’t advance while stalled in the
Grief
In the grip of grief, I suffer the pain I feel
It is so unreal, the hurt, a distasteful meal
That makes me weep,
Loneliness
When the Dark
Brings Tears
............
I gazed out toward
the cold graveyard
and wondered if
she was peaceful
