Poetry: Survival

You can't stop the pain
That rips at my heart
All you can do is sit
And watch it tear me apart

You watch as I scream out
Into this dark, cold night
Watching as I struggle
To slowly win this fight

You brush back the hair
That covers my eyes
Watching them scream out
Through my muted cries

I take hold of your hand
But you're silent as a mouse
Comforting me through this battle
This battle of self

Don't let me go
And slip silently away
Hold strong to my hand
So I know that it's all okay

With you by my side
I am not afraid
To go off on this long
And scary escapade

    all that remains is the strenght

    Only the strong survive

    Why all the homeless, the sick and the broken

    The Tides of Change

    Perusing the tales of others
    Launch me into a trip of nostalgia
    seven years gone
    feeling like lifetimes
