Into The Night
There I was
in my own little world
feeling worthless and alone
asking myself daily
did I not deserve to be loved?
understood?
respected?
I wandered endlessly
one day to next
seeking an answer
to what will the 'morrow bring?
will there ever be sunshine
behind dismal clouds?
loneliness
suffocating me
with veils of darkness
would I ever see
my dreams fulfilled?
would the tears
I cry
perhaps
one day
be tears of pure joy?
one night as I sat
questioning
life, death, God, self
wanting to live
yet,
Praying to die,
a special someone
entered my heart
liken to a rainbow
after the storm
with him
I looked at things
in a different perspective
feasting on positive
casting out negative
as he nourished
my being
with kindness,
friendship,
sincerity
it wasn't long
before I felt
renewed,
worthwhile
special...
a wilted rose
brought back to life
we shared everything
from good to bad
and all things in between
there were no secrets
as our inner feelings
opened up
allowing the other in..
trust and respect
became stainless
building a precious bond
then...
without warning
the rains came
pouring down
with storms of life
crashing my world
once again
I suppose
nothing lasts forever
as I watched
the rainbow fade
out of sight
knowing...
our midnight serenade
would from then on
be forever silenced...
hugging aloneness once more
bitterness led me deep into the night
with tearstained cheeks
and shattered heart pleading
'will you never learn?'
