The grey rain falls, a mist hangs in the air
Willow fish swing back and forth
Jimi sings on the radio
The air is cold, the floor is hard despite the cushion I sit on
My eyes burn, the ever present tears
Wait their turn that never comes
My jaw clenched, my knee aches
My body ages
I have been sat here for years but nobody finds me
They come, they go, they say hello but they don't see me
You've seen me
I thought I hid so well
There are others out there but I don't know how to reach them
I run, I hide, I don't belong here, there, anywhere
I eat, I sleep, I dream of a place that is warm and full of light
And no-one hides
We share, we love, we live
We are content, we are worthwhile
Maybe then it will be time for the tears to fall
When the world is free and light and I can forgive
And live the life I have inside of me
That only you can see.
I see you
ReplyDeleteI see your pain and suffering
All the parts of you that got left behind
The parts that have been denied.
The love you lost
The love that you never had
No matter how many times you asked
Your heart dying quickly and fast.
I can see you
Your struggle and shame
In your desire to be whole and free
For your life to open and be seen.
But the battle rages on
Into the traps you fall
Down the same old road, potholes
Reliving your sadness and your woe.
I can see your light
Though the dark wrecks your bones
Through the rage and frustration
I can see the man in the making.
Tread lightly my love
Keep believing in your heart
Never give up even though it burns
Stand in the fire one day it will ne your turn.
