No One To Turn To

Haven't you ever been alone?

Haven't you ever felt as though

everything was a lost cause?

Today is that day,

a day of darkness that clouds,

shadows every hope,

every chance at happiness.

All smiles are but a memory,

all laughter is gone for good.

Never again to be joyed,

never again TO be proud.

A lost feeling overcomes me,

and I long to feel safe.

TO sleep in an embrace

of comfort and caring warmth.

TO feel as though someone cares,

in a world of selfish hate.

TO not be alone

and TO have a hope

for this dreary world

in which I dwell my short days

few amongst other's many.

Cutting a day short,

sharply with a knife

of a red bitter end.

Eternal Release

I've brought you here

to my quiet place,

because you've wakened

a feeling, in part.

The other part lies

in the love that I keep

for only you

within my heart.

The walls of my dark

and lonesome hall

filled only with thoughts,

and lost dreams,

Are cold, and damp

and dreary, quite

cast only by

moonlight beams.

I 've brought you here

to share with you

a piece of my soul

kept locked,

You're the only one

to see my place

I keep it away

and blocked.

But I find a surrender

within your eyes

that makes the hope

in me take flight.

And though I fight,

and though I try

to hate you with

all my might.

I can't because,

and I swear this vow,

that I love you in

darkness and light.

And I show you this place

because I want us to be

until one is the daylight

and night.
