Sorrows

Some nights will cut like blades

Your heart will blacken

Frozen by the harsh seasons of life

~

The kindling will be ashes

So cold, the spark long gone

And your strength will leave you

~

Sitting in front of a once warm hearth

Your thoughts will slow

Your heart shiver like a bird in a storm

~

Some nights will drown you in sorrows

Your pulse so far gone

Life will be a question

~

Your soul like a thousand winters

The song gone silent

The spell broken

~

No one told you death would shatter your life

You couldn’t even say goodbye

All things now so frail and fragile

~

Some nights will whisper “they are gone”

Gaping holes where they once were

Your story reshaped without your say

~

Looking back will be salt on wounds

Ahead, rocks chiseled by fear

Softness will be gone, there will be nowhere to land

~

Remain still, my friend

Let the coldness tell you the seasons of the heart

Close your eyes, feel the pain... I promise you it’s not in vain

~

It’s going to hurt more than a thousand curses

You will not believe in other sides

All you once trusted will be unsure grounds

~

It’s going to hurt, my friend

And when it does, I hope you feel my hand

All that is asked now is another breath

~

You will come back to the shore of life

Saved by all the pieces of you that could not drown

And when you do, I will be there...
