Place of Hell

Place of Hell

My heart beats

to a painful rhythm

as my soul shattered

so long ago

the painful beats of my

heart have become

all that i know 

but in the silence

of the night

i remember so much more

than I wish too....

I remember the words

and I remember 

all the times

that eventually led

to my life crashing down around me...

I see so many falling down that

same dark hole that i 

just now climbed myself out of...

and my tears follow them down..

I wish to help but I do not know how

As I see them go

my heart breaks once again

but this time not form my sake

but for the sake of those

I love and care for.

As they fall

I am unable to do a thing

so silently I wait in the 

silence of the night 
as my silent tears follow them down..
And I pray aloud for a ladder to be built
as he built for me...
so that one day they 
might just 
climb back up out of the very
depth of a small
but painful
place of hell...

Dancing away

Dancing Away

Dancing away

I create the dance

the dance that is in my soul.

As I dance around and around 

my tears sprinkle the ground around my soul

and the wall that slowly 

ever so slowly close in around my small world

my tears leave a colorful 

display all around my world

but as I sink down

to the ground.

As my feet that never stopped, stop.

My tears begin 

to create a puddle.

A puddle of colors at my feet

as I glance up and around

in despair

my world begins to 

make sense

and as the puzzles

are completed

my tears go cold

and hope

fills my soul

at the picture

painted, and created from 

my never ending ...tears....
