Days swept past me quickly
I woke to years gone by
Sitting silent for what felt like eternity
In a lonely world, I called mine

Letters piled in my doorway
As they fell onto the floor
And the telephone rang constantly
Yet I cried and chose to ignore  

Seasons passed through my window
Fallen snow, rain, leaves and sunshine
Falling on everyone but me
Why were  those days I earned denied?

The world was just so frightening
Knowing no one would understand
A woman who wept internally
And suffering was her only friend

As my palms caught  my sorrowful tears
And my bones grew cold and stiff
So many tried to support me
To offer my heart a lift

Yet I turned a cheek to silence
Shutting out people that I cherished
Sealing off love and life as I knew it
Forced in sadness where I perished

Staring at those same four walls
Listening to my own loud cries
I’m angry at the person who
Keeps telling me that I should hide

Battles of thoughts take over me
The Angel verses the Devils side
Raising my hope then stripping is away
The Devil wins time after time

Held captive in such darkness
I search for some light as relief
And the  letters and calls keep coming
Until the Devil awards his releas
