Days seem long, nights have no end
Thoughts, words, images of maybe
Restless agony, silence, a damn built
No voice to scream out the pain
It overtakes common sense
Covers, veils, shuts out all light
A place of joy becomes hell
Once bright now oh so dark
Mercy not an option, not now
Life goes on, yeh or nay
One cannot know the outcome
Always wishing, dreaming, wanting
Such is this, all there is
Nothing more but the desire
To smile, to face truth come what may
Stars fade losing a breath
Fire will not be smothered
Tears fight to stay hidden
Waves rage salted , hopelessly sweet
These may not survive ranting currents
Turmoil lurks within high devious tide
