DREAD
January 15, 2006

Take my yesterdays and do not offer anything more.
I'm still reeling from the power of hate.
How could I have known this was what was in store.
Take my present day as it is full of moments to late.

There are no riches and bounds of undying love.
Nothing can change this reality of sorrow.
I'm full of feelings that taint, maim, shove.
Open wounds grow as I dread tomorrow

RESOLVE ~after dread~
June 15, 2013

Take your hold on me and go to hell. 
I'm still reeling at your need for revenge.
Your coldness as my hold on life fell.
The fire of your anger left me singed.

Gone are the emotions that kept us tied.
My heart is cold now and no longer involved.
I'm comfortable without you at my side.
I've shed all my tears, at long last resolve.
