The Life They Stole

Grief

Torn from my life before time Too many words left unsaid. Left Untied Falling through levels of pain that entwine my core Slowly numbing. Turning to stone That part of me that used to feel
Surrounded by faces with eyes averted Words raining down unheard. Unneeded Block out a world of hurt and lies and retreat within To a place less real. A place of safety But a place as temporary as life itself
Grasping desperately to the moment in time To your scent, your warmth The sun on your face But will the smell fade? Your touch turn cold? Now that the sun has set beyond your horizon And left my world in the shadows Where you once gave light
Laying alone at night in an oversized bed Trying to sleep away the hurt but not dream Reliving the moment played out in my mind Like a bad B-grade that does not do justice To the love that you gave And the life that they stole
Need to break the shackles left behind Tying me to this place to battle with myself My mind waging war on the memories As I sit here alone in this house Surrounded by pain And everything reminds me of you......
