VOICES
Mock me
With their ugly cacophony
They whisper to me…
You are on your own
They tell me…
The lost one that was found
Has no desire, no will
To hold your hand
Let go…live life
You were never worthy.
Throngs of loved ones
Encourage and cocoon
Me in their warmth and yet…
I am alone, so lone
You, my beloved
Sealed my lonely destiny
Pleas and appeals are stifled
As my woeful cries,
Are lost in this tempest of despair
Alone I stand once again
Facing a desolate path
Fear and dread
Grip me like tentacles
I have no choice…
The lonesome trail calls me
Without you,
Solitude as my companion
We walk hand in hand.
Time will heal…
Life has its own story to unfold
Of spinning your fate
Be patient…
My beloved ones tell me…
All sound meaningless and hollow.
Lost and floundering
I plunge deeper
Into my abyss of hopelessness
You, my soul, my other half
Resolute in your choice
Like an oak stand strong…
As I watch on helpless
My mind reeling and grappling
With this stark truth…
You were never mine.
So you banish me forever
To a lifetime of pain and longing.
Yet I cannot let go, not yet
They snicker and laugh
You are doomed…
The cruel voices in my head say…
You were never meant to be
Just a fancy distraction
Is all you will be…
Their uproar deafens me
Torn and tortured
I flee to the momentary comfort
Of your love, of your voice once again.
