Struggle..

Deafening silence rings in my mind

Uncontrollable thoughts sink in to pass the time

Pain on your part

Pain on mine

The struggle for love is being tortured

Due to someone Else's lies.

The picture perfect moments my mind's eye sees

Look as they will never be a reality.

With my heart showing like an open wound

I take all the pain my heart can consume.

Not just the pain I feel

But the pain that haunts your dreams

The pain that makes you cry at night,

The pain that makes it hard to breathe.

I take it all in to ease your suffering,

To take the burden you carry as my own,

To show you that you do have a helping hand

When you feel there is no place else to go.

When I close my eyes just for a moment,

I can literally almost see

The perfection that you and I could create

But then I get smacked back to reality.

Only time will ease your suffering,

The wall won't drop until then

For you can't expect a heart to heal

When it hasn't found a way to mend.

But still I tell you now love I'll be patient,

I'll wait here day and night

Through rain, snow or the fires of hell

I'll be there no matter how much my eyes swell..

Swell full of tears uncontrollable

Knowing inside I cannot ease your pain

Only words of comfort is what I can give you

But I feel like even that's in vain.

If only the past lies weren't spoken,

False smiles were never seen,

Then maybe our Love could blossom...

Without hesitation,

It would be serene....
