Once upon a time,
There was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Total Eclipse Of The Heart-Bonnie Tyler, 1983

Slip

I left because the world had plans,
I did a lot with these two hands.
I sang and danced,
I ran and pranced,
I cried
I smiled
I was proud
I was hurt
Joy and Love seeped into me
But Worry and Sorrow stayed with me
As I thought
About long ago
I remembered
How to feel loss.
How to lose hope.
I fell again.
Into empty void.
It slipped away
Hope slipped out of my grasp.

I left because the world had plans.
I'm back because everything left me.

Happily

I have come
To realize
A "Happily Ever After"
Can never die
It never ceases
Never quiets
Never is dark
So where is mine?

Questions Of My Daily Mind

Is there an emergency service
For the mentally distressed?
If someone pretends to care,
Do they love me more or less?
How can I be sure,
When I constantly digress?

I need an emergency service
For the mentally distressed.

Pain

do you know
how much
pain
is
coursing
through my body
that
I
don't
feel?

Difference

If anyone knows (though very few do),
Tell me the difference between a lie and the truth.

Short Days, Long Nights (Another Poem From Alone)

But I learn to be cautious with my fantasies.
They can lead to an ache that begins
deep in my body, fills my torso, and crawls
down my limbs until I can no longer
feel my hands and feet.

-Megan E. Freeman, "Alone"

Seriously guys, this is a great book.
