Awaken

A voice has called to me.

Woken me from my sleep.

I have awakened.

But

The mortality has pulled me down.

The human skin traps my soul.

Darkness all over

Except

The tiny bit of light that lets me see into the world.

A new time.

A new place.

A new body.

Different rules apply.

Why do you call me?

Why did you wake me to this?

Can you rescue me?

Will you rescue me?

I sit here staring into the nothingness

Searching for your light.

Light my way to salvation, my love.

Take my hand

And

Free me from the bindings of my skin.

Let me soar into the clouds

And

Take their healing in.

Battleground

 Our relationship has been a roller coaster

Up

    And

            Down

Even round and round.

However

Some days…

It is a battleground.

Words and tears are used as weapons 

Hearts and minds are our shields.

Both seem to be c r a c k i n g

Maybe shattered 

but 

Glued back together again.

Words seem to be sharper 

Tears look like blood when they fall

Both covered in slashes and cuts

All we do is take a breather

Sleep and hope for better days

Never knowing what the day will bring.

Dreading to step foot out of bed.  

Words are getting sharper

Harsher

Feelings be damned

Love no longer keeping them at bay.

What will today be?

Peaceful

Roller coaster 

Battleground?

Lost

Alice once said, “I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.” 

She had it right.   We’re all different people day to day.   Now, don’t get me wrong, there are some people who stagnate.   

I’m starting to wonder and become afraid that what if I’m one of those people?   I’m not who I use to be.  That is very true.  Every day I try to be better than I was the day before.  But it seems like I never succeed.   I’m lost.   My compass is spinning and will not point to the right path that will lead me to who I am to become.  

I haven’t felt this lost in a long time.  I use to know exactly who I was, who I wanted to become.  Now, I’m lost and afraid.   I see things creeping into my mind from the shadows that I thought were long gone.   I am fighting my demons every day, but I am losing ground.  My sword is too heavy.

I need help.  I’m afraid.  I’m so afraid.  Please help me.  I am crying out to God to help me carry my sword.

Please.  I don’t want to be lost.   

Falling

I can feel my grip slowly loosening.

No matter how tightly I try to hold on,

My grip continues to slip.

I can see them staring down at me

Wondering when I’ll finally fall.

I can hear them whispering

“Pathetic.”

“Weak”

“I don’t know what I ever saw in you.”

Each word strikes my heart like an arrow.

It makes my grip loosen more.

I take their every hit.

I take in their every word.

It hurt so much.

There is darkness beneath me.

I can hear screaming, crying

Blood is running down my arms

The edge cutting into my fingers

It hurts. 

It’s getting really slick

Hard to hold on.

No one will catch me. 

My fingers are starting to slip

I can’t hold on.

I’m going to fall.

No one will catch me.

No one will save me.

Fading

Every woman wants to be someone’s everything.

I do.

I want him.

I love him.

I want to be his Heaven.

I want to be his Elysian Fields.

I want to be his Valhalla.

I worry I am not.

Let’s face it!

I am not those. 

I am his Hell.

His Hades.

His Niflheim.

I fear my light is fading.

I fear the darkness may be consuming.

I am fading.
