Nurture

Shadows Fall

With Longing I recall

Yearning for a caress hollow and empty,

Unsheltered by the pain of the rest

Not without justification, torn down for my compassion

Free formed in emptiness

Have I been cheated?

Has all I have worked for been stolen away by disregarding what I most Yearned for?

Relinquished all I deserve

Fearing not for suffering, is my home and pain my native tongue?

Loss and rejection are my family

Nurture

You are not the reason for my weakness

Lost I hold you to blame for fearing love

For my failure...accompany disaster and inherit the pain

Torn down for my compassion now I stand alone

Not sympathy just understanding I am shown

Too far gone now, my thoughts are wise

All alone because your taken so far

A graceful end to life

But its not over

Disguised in a full mask of truth

Those old words are denied

With longing I recall

Yearning for a caress hollow and empty, unsheltered by the pain of the rest

Not without justifcation, torn down for my compassion, free formed in emptiness

Repent what I feel

Mourn disguised..as life's seas are paralyzed
