Gray


The firmness
of Mother Earth
has fallen away

My feelings
I should have kept
deeply hidden within

Let nothing penetrate you
Become the color of gray
Do not feel and you
will not care

Death becomes me
yet I still live
The pain slowly fading
Feeling numb
and dying inside

Nothing seems to matter
I simply don't care
With nowhere to hide
I slip deeper into dispair

My smile disappearing
my eyes becoming so dull
With a heart so heavy
It'd be nice to
escape from it all

Remembering my faith
A Christian I am
and knowing there's
much more in store

Words coming from
someone you once loved
ripping your heart out
casting it to the floor

A skeleton of
my former self
My prayers
and my children
are all I now have

I will try
to rebuild

Able to trust
with feelings renewed
may be impossible
for me to do

Life is such
a struggle it seems
I wish it were all but a dream

Anguish,pain,suffering,and shame
All of those years
were they just thrown away

I was a fool
and now know what to do
I won't let my guard down
not ever again

No I'm just
going to stay
the color of gray
Sitting up at night to
silently pray

For some wonderful day
my pain will slip
forever away
