It's been a long journey
This broken road to you
Through fire and brimstone
The light, at last, broke through
Music in the distance
Strains of laughter remembered
alone
Those crooked smiles and taunting
eyes
That finally called us Home.
No longer left to drift in darkness
No more moments lost to pain
The shadows break on new horizons
Never to be alone again.
It's been a long journey
But the the dawn has broken through
Past joy and pain, moonlight and rain
And this broken road to you....

When Strength Isn't Enough
What happens to the strong ones
When Fear takes hold?
A thousand thoughts like chips of ice
Blowing like hurricanes in her mind.
Her heart and everything in her cries,
"Tell them!"
But.....
The voice of the demons inside her soul
say no.
That is the Fear.
Fear of loss, of rejection....
Being forgotten and thrown away again....
Told that her feelings are only a product
of her loneliness.
But, no.
Lonely has become an old friend.
The old acquaintance who asks to crash
on the couch for a while;
And, now, gets mail here and leaves his
dirty laundry eve
Nothing hurts like being forgotten.
Left like a passing thought,
Important for a while, but only just.
A candle lit to burn brightly in your
time of need,
With no care for how far it burns
itself to nothing.
Brief glimpses and pretty words
draw her back like a moth to
the flame.
Held as if feared she'd be gone
when you let go.
Whispered, heartfelt pleas,
And a hand held desperately,
like a precious thing.
Promises to never leave....
Burned away by silence, lost and
forlorn as a winter wind.
Do you still tell yourself you do it
to save her?
Like some lost, poor maiden with
a sheep's meek heart.
Yet, in blo
I can feel you slipping away from me,
And it scares me.
I've walked my own shadows for so long,
I can see the cloud you stand in.
I know that lost and alone feeling too well.
Hoping I could save you from my own roads,
Somehow we both got lost along the way.
The thought of losing you haunts my
nightmares,
And steals the colors from my dreams.
You are, and always have been, my
Starshine;
The Light that shined so brightly on my
moonless nights....
....But now their shine is hidden from me.
Somewhere along the line, you lost your
trust in me....
If that's my fault, I'm sorry.
I can feel you slipping away from me,
And it scares
