Eternal Despair Poem by Jose Feliciano

In the silence of the night,
Feeling you here with me.
Holding my breath in twilight skies,
Feeling so helpless and praying to see.

In many thoughts I would think,
You would see through my imperfections.
Hoping that you would really see,
The beauty in my eyes reflection.

Why am I not enough for you?
Is it me who should be to blame?
Many say that it is you all along,
Then why do I feel this shame?

I always wanted something real,
At least I thought you would try.
I tried so hard to hold it in,
But I couldn’t help to fall and cry.

What darkness has taken me?
For all I feel is your touch,
Seeing the world through jaded eyes,
Realizing that I can only do so much.

Darkness overcomes my heart,
As the moon light shines on my face
What can you do to mend my soul?
When all I see is your disgrace.

All that is left is Twilight Skies,
One true hope that is vaguely fare,
I will try and hold on,
From what seems like Eternal Despair.
