Finally Smiles Upon My Face

Finally Smiles Upon My Face

So much pain inside of me
No where left for it to go
Slowly eating away my soul
Taking everything I know

Life has stolen so much
Everyone I love goes away
Nothing left but my voice
It's being silenced everyday

Just trying to hold onto
Time with loved ones and friends
Find a little happiness
Till it's time for my life's end

Maybe I will find some peace
Shadows chase me through my days
Magical dreams were shattered
Shine your loving light my way

Waiting now to feel your hand
Lift me from this evil place
Wrapped again in loving arms
Finally smiles upon my face

    Wonderful begining, and a beautiful end. Very well done, and worded. What a way to see a passing, as a release from all the pains, and the dread. And, perhaps, a flight into a so wanted paradise.

    ^^ thats the game life plays with us ... it presents us with wonderful moments only to be snatched away.. what remains is memories... wonderfully penned...

    "Maybe I will find some peace
    Shadows chase me through my days
    Magical dreams were shattered
    Shine your loving light my way "

    Cindy,

    I can only imagine this kind of pain, a pain that is a constant, torturous and seemingly full of malace. I can almost imagine such a fantasy, a time in the future where such a burden would be lifted and pain would feature no more, instead it would be replaced with smiles reflected from kind familiar faces.

    Well done on this my dear. :)

    Take care

    I must say that I really enjoyed the first stanza a lot, it really drew me in and made me want to read more.. I do agree with the fact that sometimes pain becomes so much that it feels like its eating you alive almost.. this was quite sad but some of that sadness went away towards the end, yet some still is there..

    A very well written poem.

    Impressive,
    5/5.
