Enough

Sometimes love isn’t enough

Sometimes saying sorry

Means very little if you’re hurting

Feeling miserable for yourself

Blaming the world for the pain

You’re in when you caused it

Looking to others to solve your problems

If you could only look in the mirror

And see your answers there

You can be at your lowest

But there are others lower than you

Be thankful you are not where

They are

Pain

I suffer your pain as it wraps its
Tentacles around your heart
Strangling life from your soul
In this abyss you have fallen
Where you find no peace
Sorrow has become your
Shadows and comfort
Has no spirit
A place I have known so well
And at times the darkness
So severe light couldn’t find
Its way in
I share your despair the feeling
Of fighting this battle on your own
How many times did I too wage this
War
In my footsteps you’re walking in
Nevertheless, notice there is only one
Set of prints
Pain has its way of stealing hope
Hope has a way of stealing back life
You’ll see the dawn begin to break
Darkness slowly dissipates
Pain vanish as fog rolls back out
To sea
Life is after all beautiful
Unique and you are to
Keep believing in happy ever
After pain is no more











Shoulder

So much, pain how do I give comfort
Sadness and confusion I wish to
Transfer it all too me
For a moment to give him, release
Tears hauntingly reverberate
The sound I can’t extinguish
Wish I could erase the resonance from my mind
I cried too but held it inside of me for him
He needed strength I gave him all I could
Still I was left feeling incomplete
Because he was incomplete
And the journey continues
As this soul carries his load
Seeking absolve from the path
He chose to take
Has to learn to forgive his mistake
See the heart is a strong vessel
But to let it heal he has to let
Go of the past
And find forgiveness in himself
Love him
And I’ll be here the shoulder for
Him to rest his burdens on
