Life As It Is Known
Mary Ellis

The words that once used to flow with ease now have a hard time finding a way onto paper.
The feelings that once raged within now seem to be tamed or dead.
There is a feeling of despair that replaces the joy, sadness replaces the happiness,
And hate replaces the love that once lived within.

The tears try to come but are pushed back, for they should not be seen.
The sobs that tremble within cry to be let free, the sun is buried deep within.
Buried so far so deep inside the mind, inside the soul, deep inside the heart.
It used to be so simple then, one by one my world, my life, my heart fell down around me.

Now I have no way of getting it back not sure if I even want it.
No one here no one there, no one to hold touch or feel.
No one to whisper those words of love and devotion.
No one to care and feel about me the way I care about them.

Life – Emptiness, Loneliness, Loveless
Death – Emptiness, Loveless, Lifeless....
For better or worse till death do us part lonely and desperate for something ungotten here!!!!
