State of constant confusion!

What do you say to the night
When it seems that no one cares
How do you hold it together
When you're the only one there

If tomorrow fell upon you
Could you handle all it's wieght
And learn to love again
In this world filled with hate

Could you heal your broken heart
Or leave it alone to die
When you know a certain truth
You'll never know if you don't try

So pick up the pieces and move on
Don't let them drag you down
Reach for a far away star
There's love there to be found

Jeffrey,

Thanks so much, my friend, for this wonderful poem... I feel like I might use your advice... and start "picking up the pieces", so to say...

Regards,
Sudhir

I truly believe these words, Jeffrey, it as if a lighthouse   keeps us going,
a wonderful lighthouse and we just keep going because the light is on in our souls. Good to see you again!

and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive
