Shadow May 2020
It was the sweetest fruit
from the tree of life

One that I didn't appreciate enough
To childhood
Shadow May 2020
Set me free of this curse!
Let me cry
Let me cry
Set me free of my torment!
Let me cry
Let me cry
Tears do not leave the eye;
I really wish I would die.

What is this twisted dream?
Why can I not scream?
I cannot feel grief or pain,
Not happiness nor dismay,
I can no longer smile,
And despite how much I try,
I really cannot cry.

I've grown so tired now,
To this tragedy, I must bow,
My hairs are turning grey
Oh to hell with all this fray!
Just let me wither and die,
What's the point when I cannot cry?
Tears do not leave the eye...
I cannot feel anything, I am unable to cry, unable to let my emotions out. I cannot feel happiness or sadness, love or hate, I can't feel anything....

Some people often listen to music while writing and I am one of those, I thought I would share my favourite with you - my friends :)
Shadow May 2020
The Truth was a mirror,
that fell far from the sky,
and shattered into pieces,

Each person took a piece of it,
and saw themselves in its reflection,
thus they thought that they possessed the Truth,
whereas the Truth lay in the hands of everybody.
It is together that we shall find our truth.

Out of the night that covers me,
      Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
      For my unconquerable soul.


In the fell clutch of circumstance
      I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
      My head is ******, but unbowed.


Beyond this place of wrath and tears
      Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
      Finds and shall find me unafraid.


It matters not how strait the gate,
      How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
      I am the captain of my soul.
Written by William Ernest Henley, this poem is one of my favourites. What is your favourite?

I just want it to end.

The hopelessness, the fear,
the constant critic in my head:
I've lived with them all for too long.

All I've ever known is this war, this endless battle.
There's nothing wrong with wanting it to end.
To wish that it didn't is cruel.

But why can't the best solution be the simplest?
Why do I have to keep fighting?

At times it's deafening,
and I'm so exhausted.

Why can't I just lay down in no man's land
and let this battle fall silent around me?

Why can't that be the end?

Because... I'll never know what's possible.

It's been a pleasure knowing you,
Although we didn't really last.
It's been a pleasure knowing you,
I often think about the past.
It's been a pleasure knowing you,
Questions flood my mind.
It's been a pleasure knowing you,
Thank you for being kind.

*************

Alas, it all came to an end.
At last we are but done.
Alas, the morning's grey again .
At last our days are gone.

************

Do not mourn the good memories,
Who mourns happiness after all?
Do not think of who I've been,
You have changed and so have I.

************

Free yourself!
Free yourself from the bounds of love!
When have you seen a happy lover
Who hasn't been hurt at its hands?

You're missing the wrong person my friend
So stop wasting your time.

************

What good would love do
When one cannot feel your love?
It's better that it ended when it did;
I couldn't carry on,
There's nothing I could do.

*************

It's been a pleasure knowing you,
I know what you're going through.
It was a pleasure knowing you,
But now the time has come,
So let  me make it simple and short
As no to hurt us both
Goodbye my dearest
Goodbye.
Everyone has their own tales of love - mine has been a series of unfortunate events.
