Forever a Shadow

The moment he took that last breath
I felt my heart give way
My soul shriveled to nothing
It turned the darkest shade of grey
Fire burned within these eyes
Tears that pooled on the floor were filled with anger
Damn this war!
Many searched for words of comfort
Trying to revive this shadow
Restore it to the woman it once had been
Soon they found nothing could be said
Day after day a little voice of hope would whisper
Maybe there was a mistake
The more time that passed
I realized it must be true
Very slowly the sadness begins to recede
With the help of friends life has started moving again
But the anger may never fully lessen
Others have floated into my life
The emptiness however still remains
It’s him I need
The nightly news does nothing to cool the fire
All too often it’s the wood feeding it
Helping it grow and burn brighter
Oh how I loved him
Such an amazing courageous man
Alone in the inky silent darkness of night
I often awaken to the sound of his voice
For a moment I search for him
Elated that he has at last come home to me
And then the cold reality hits
Tears sting my eyes
I hadn’t heard him at all it was only a dream
No longer able to hold it back
A river of tears soaks my pillow
Lord how I need him
Until the day we meet again
I am destined to be nothing more
Than a shadow in the moonlight
Perfectly visible
But never really there

Welcome to my hollow hell,
full of endless nothing.
Cold inside my smiling shell,
praying for something.

For a joker cursed with sincerity,
human obsolescence drives everything.
I've been left with perfect clarity,
the man who trusts keeps nothing.

Laugh in my face, and leave me to dwell,
forever alone, in this frigid hell.
I'll laugh forever, and smile long after,
because forever only lasts until something better.

So welcome to my hollow hell,
my beloved, self imposed cell.

Standing in the cold,
quietly growing old,
I stop to think about my life.
What wrongs, what did I do right?
The road ahead's so long and bending..
Will I have a happy ending?
I've wasted so much, with nothing to show.
And I can already see my corpse in the snow.
Life is moving on, and I've been left behind,
still staring backwards, at a better time.
Things were so simple when I was young.
So much less I wished could be undone.
When I thought maybe, the ones I love could stay?
When I knew we'd be together everyday.
This isn't so, anymore, and I'm on my own.
They're all leaving, they've better homes.
Years from now I'll still miss my friends,
as I wonder, if this is a good end.
They'll be happy, healthy, and well.
I'll be carving thier names in the wall of a cell.
And so, I stand quiet in the cold.
Staring back, and growing old.

Worthless? Is that all?
Twenty years for nothing?
She said worthless, I recall.
Dear sister, ever loving..
And what of my brothers?
Will the forget me?
These three others,
taking everything.
Obsolete forevermore,
and silently alone.
I don't want much anymore,
it's worthless on my own.
What good is gold,
with no one to show?
I'll grow old,
and die in the snow.
Worthless? Everyhitng I fought for?
Leaving? Everyhting I cared for..
Bled, sweat, would have died for?
They don't need me anymore.
I'm less to them than simple money.
They're everything, anymore..
It used to be, pain was funny,
now it's just cold.

(and the picture is of me now)

Should I be laughing?
Should I stop?
I'm afraid I'll continue..
until I drop.
There's nothing else,
nothing left.
It's so much better,
to laugh 'til your death.
Why bother with sadness?
Doesn't help.
Do I want to be remembered,
as a sobbing whelp?
I'd rather just smile,
and nod,
and scream in my head,
"help me, God!".
But ofcourse, no one answers
if no one hears..
I won't give it breath,
or spill any tears.
Because it doesn't matter.
Everyone's leaving.
But I've learned a difference;
living from breathing.
All the living breathe,
not all are alive.
Many exist,
just waiting to die.

Pillar of Stone.

Give me heaven, then damn me to hell.
Pick me up, kiss it better, make me well.
Then cast me back into the flames,
and ignore me, I feel no pain.
I am just a stone, so step on me.
I will hold you up, you see.
But a step later, you've already forgotten me.


But once you're gone, and can't hear or see,
I crumbled to dust, and you've destroyed me.
Can you tell me from any other stone?
Do you see me on my own?
Or am I just another pebble?
I was a stone that never hurt your feet.
I was the stone with a heart beat.
And I still am. I always will be.
