Empty Arms

Contributed by juliETTE on Tuesday, 30th November 2004 @ 09:56:58 PM in AEST
Topic: Grief



I was never one to grieve out loud;
Enjoyed my pain and wore it proud,
Like a medal I valiantly earned
So silently did I crash and burn.
Though bitter it left me inside
Easier to scream than break down and cry
So this aching catches me off guard
Cause I have lost control of my own heart.

To love with so much depth and height,
Then kiss an angel before taking flight.
When faced with the truth that you are gone-
I feel myself hardly hanging on.
And believing there is a safer place,
Where you live on without my embrace
The promise that this world will never do you harm-
Still what do I do now with these empty arms?

AWWWW that's sooo sad, I loved the first few lines, you did a good job at rhyming (youll have to excuse my spelling) not many people can pull it off without sounding lame (like me ^_^) but you did a perfect job of expressing yourself - thanks for sharing
cheers

A heartfelt painful write. My prayers go out to you and your family. Your words speak for you in this, in the deep main you have. Don't be alone in this, share your feelings a family member or even a friend. I feel your pain but in a different way, my mother has passed away. No matter how you look at it, it hurts, I keep saying a part of me had died also.
