Life ebbing into darkest night,
precious moments forever lost,
fading in the dimming light,
now the time to count the cost.
...
And should we shed a tear,
For each and every year?
Or should we rather cry in rage
At each and every passing age?
...
Every dark road traveled,
every pain and loss suffered,
etched deep in the face.
...
Do not tell me to smile,
Do not tell me things will get easier,
Do not tell me to pull myself together,
If I could I would.
...
Dark desperation
seething within,
demons locked
inside my head.
...
We drove on and on
in the car together, alone.
Feelings once had, gone
lost all once known.
...
All the stolen daydreams
lately going nowhere.
All the missing passion
that consumed our loving.
...
remnants of feelings
stirring in my breast
impressions of love
...
