Brooding Heartache
Memories,
Broken down
Haunting me,
I choke them down
Eyes closed to the darkness,
Tears running down my face
There is no one to turn to,
Nowhere to escape
They lurk in the shadows,
So patiently;
They wait
They cling to my heart,
Harboring them;
My fate
They are in the sunshine;
Cold inside it's rays
They are in my smile,
And the reason that it fades
Just as my spirit rises,
My wings;
They break
Just as my arms open,
My heart;
They stake
They are in my dreams,
Torturing my sleep
Your name on my daughter's lips;
Cutting me so deep.
