The moment comes
When consciousness breaks
A new day offers
Distance from the past days mistakes

The view is hazy
And hope is faint
But you put on a smile
And the clothes of a saint

Then feelings rush in
To your heart and your mind
Like an avalanche of pain
There is no peace you can find

You are quickly reminded
Of the life that you live
Without love or support
You have nothing to give

Searching for crumbs
You are desperate to eat
Looking for favor
In the face of defeat

You think you will starve
Then a crumb falls your way
Enough to keep you alive
For maybe one more day

You know it’s your fault
You have made some poor choices
So the screaming gets louder
From the inside voices

The pain is so loud
It is all you feel
If someone would just care
You could begin to heal

The day wears on
And the clock hands sway
You look forward to sleep
To the start of a new day

Your bones don’t ache
From the work of the day
But your body still hurts
The pain won’t go away

You remember what was
And the warmth of her touch
She was everything you wanted
You loved her so much

Your insides melt
And the water flows
Your heart splits in half
But that’s life I suppose

As night approaches
And your vision gets dim
You pray for God’s peace
That can only come from him

You see her face in your dreams
And you hear her sweet voice
Your heart is renewed
And confirms your hearts choice

As each day wears on
And the cycle repeats
You carry hope in your heart
And it will never retreat

If dreams are your road
And your one way to feel
Let rest be your muse
Let it help you to heal

No matter what method
You choose to cope
Don’t ever lose heart
Don’t ever lose hope

There is love all around
Whether asleep or awake
It’s there just for you
Just choose to partake

There is true power
More than can be spoken
In the power of love
It can’t ever be broken
