Long lives

Lonely and alone
I’m lost and torn
I want to hear your voice
I’m tattered and worn
Destroyed by my choice
Forgotten and destroyed
such decay in life
my life is void
I surrender the fight
Lonely and alone
No one sheds a tear
No place to call home
Or to hide my fears
**********

Trapped inside silence
Hold me tight my dreams do come
what tales they hold will be seen
I pray to know and understand
what these dreams do mean
horrors brought, I beg no more
for the pleas do fall
on deaf ears, no one listens
do they hear my call?
My love, I scream, I need you
fall inside my head
My love, he listens for me
But my voices are all dead
It echos onto no one told
I’m trapped inside my silence
my personal Hell, for life to live
but my love is reliant
My love is true and so am I
the words do not transcend
the violence, the pain, the hell I lived
my love, I’ll speak again
**********
Wait
Wait-
I am here
Wait-
clear the tears
wait-
I see the pain
wait-
a reason I came
wait-
my love is for you
wait-
my love is true

The Game
Close my eyes, I wait and see
where this ride will go
joy, sadness, tears, and pain
I fear will never be known
Roller coaster, no amusement here
the park has long been dim
I smile on as I move through
and prepare to ride again
Hold on tight, the ride is new
as it is every time
the ride is new, the body old,
and no one reads the signs
Take your time as you pass through
and notice life’s details
Last ride? Maybe so
the bonus round begins
Did you score high enough?
Or will you play again?
