The Demons They Come

I write about things I am going through in my life right now.

The Demons They Come

Grasping, choking
Fighting to scream
Wake me out of
This coma like dream

Sadness, sorrow
The grief that
They bare
Crushing, pounding
Weight of dispair

Fairest of heads
And the bluest of eyes
Filled with empty
Dream shattered cries

The vastness
Of the cavernous hole
Swallows and eats me
Devours my soul

I failed you
I lost you
I'm falling apart
Shredded pieces
What's left of my heart

Awake or dreaming
You are my soul
Without you
I can never be whole

I beg your forgiveness
And unmertited grace
I'd give my soul
To kiss your small face

Haunted by demons
Of the life that I chose
But out of the fire
And ashes I rose....

I'm waiting in earnest
To hold you someday
I'm sorry that Mommy
Just lost her way

I love you
I miss you
I'm aching inside
The day that I lost you
A part of me died

My baby, my son
Forever you'll be
Without you my heart
Can never be free....
