Care To Share With Me A Smile? Poem by David Lacey

I have seen you cry and claim no love as your own
When from my heart a river poured in love for you,
A river that engulfed my soul, drowned me whole
And left me lonely, lost and limp within the nightmare.
Care to share with me a smile?
.

Deserted in a moment of dire desperation
Here I am, crying again, wishing the pain away
Praying for redemption only to forget that
Mine is the power to change the mood that sways me.
Where are they now? The friends that once were mine.
They have left me isolated within a spirit consumed by darkness
Leaving only sadness and pensive thoughts drifting in my world.
