Drowning in Pain

Drowning in Pain 

 

Walked through the rain on the sunny days, 

Fell in the rivers to drown in the pain, 

Carried by currents to new domains, 

Only resurfacing to rasp hold of life again, 

Wallowing in self-pity, 

The loss of yesterday, 

Fearing the future, 

A pause in time, 

To plan the life that remains. 

 

 

Glass

Glass 

 

A soul with in a fragile vessel, 

Baptised by the tears of a failed romance, 

A mind suppressed, 

Not able to function, 

Lost in a fog, 

Drinking at the Devil’s Bar, 

In the unhappy hour, 

Accompanied by other lost souls in the disaster zone, 

Listening to the sounds on the duke box, 

Passing the time away, 

Starring at the bottom of the glass, 

What away to spend the day, 

 

My Words

My Words 

Don’t want to use another man’s lyrics to express the way I feel, 

Learning from the lessons in life, 

That last lesson was too real, 

Choking in the reality, 

As you pulled the heart from my chest, 

Leaving me in a bloody mess, 

Broken hearted the day I departed not knowing what to do, 

Broken oaths and broken vows meant nothing to you, 

Treating me like a fool, 

Growing in time through the pain, 

Learning to dance in the rain, 

Dying from a broken heart,  

After a life has been torn apart, 

Coming to terms in the end, 

At a marriages end, 

Picking up the pieces to put together again, 

The life that remains, 

Believing in hope, 

Learning to cope, 

As I start over again. 

 

 

Now

Now 

 

Sand slipping through my hand, 

No way to stop it, 

Time out of control, 

How long left I don’t know, 

Caught in a period I don’t like, 

There has to be more to life, 

In time I will know. 

 

 

Stormy Times

Stormy Times  

 

Stormy times in my life, 

Dark clouds over me, 

Darkness in my life, 

It’s hard to see, 

Grey and dreary, 

Depressing times, 

Why did this happen to me, 

Losing what I treasured most, 

Lost so easily, 

Questioning why each time I cry, 

Life has become a misery, 

Need to get rid of these dark clouds, 

The ones hovering over me. 

  

 

Once Upon aTime

A  Japanese Princes

Once Upon A Time 

 

Once upon a time a Fairy Tale got broken, 

Ruined by betrayal and destruction, 

Tale of a broken heart, 

A lost soul walks alone on a path, 

What ever happened to Fairy Tales? 

Are they ever real, 

I believe in Fairy Tales, Do you? 

A Prince saves a Princess a damson in distress, 

But who saves a Prince if the roles are reversed, 

In times of emotional struggle not knowing who is friend or foe, 

Not knowing what to do or where to go, 

Perhaps one day I will meet you and a Fairy Tale will unfold,  

You could be a Princess, 

I could be a Prince, 

In time you could be my Queen and I would be a King, 

I believe in Fairy Tales, 

A true loves kiss, 

A love potion to last, 

Drunk from a heart shaped glass, 

Cupid’s arrow shot from a distant space, 

Hit home in a hollow chest, 

A beauty spies a beast, 

Would she take a risk? 

To how gentle he could be, 

Enchanted by a smile or a spoken word, 

Hello, 

Not to judge a cover until the book is read,  

Once upon a time in a land far away a Princess kissed a frog and a Prince was saved, 

I believe in Fairy Tales, Fairy Tales, Fairy Tales, 

Do you? 

 

 

Walking Away

Walking Away 

 

When you are asked to turn around, 

But there is no common ground, 

Just keep walking, 

When you are asked to talk it out, All you do is shouting,  

What is the use in talking?  

When clouds are grey, Heavy above, 

Your shadow is the only one you can trust, 

Keep on walking, 

When life is not what it was, 

Finding it very tough, Hard to adjust, 

When you are all alone, 

Your heart is broken, 

Really broken, 

You are chocking, 

When you are going through hell, 

Hearing the toll of the bell, 

Just keep on walking, 

Walking away from yesterday, 

Heading to another day, 

Learning to live another way, 

On a chosen path, 

Yours to control to the last, 

Many cross roads along the way, 

To rest or delay, Until a decision is made, 

Just keep on walking, 

Walking
