Turn Off The Lights

by Paralyzed   Mar 13, 2008


My heart is aching
Spirit weak
I do not hear you
When you speak

Close the door
Turn out the light
Pull the shades
And hold me tight

I've never lost
Someone before
I've never hurt
Down to my core

I don't know how
To shake this pain
To let it go
And feel no shame

Just hold me now
And don't let go
I'm slowly sinking
Deep below

Hell on earth
There's fires burning
I die to know
They're not returning

A piece of me
Forever gone
I do not wish
To greet the dawn

    Great opening stanza ... how we lose all sense of attention when our heart is in pain. Very well said.

    Close the door
    Turn out the light
    Pull the shades
    And hold me tight

    Oh how I can relate ... just to have arms wrapped around me, blocking out the anguish.

    A piece of me
    Forever gone
    I do not wish
    To greet the dawn

    Your ending speaks with such deep emotional sadness. To breathe another breath, starts to feel like a chore, something we just don't have the energy to do.

    Very sad piece penned, filled with deep emotion!
    Welcome to P&Q, a fabulous site it is.
