Powerless Today

The warmth today, from inside out
Still feverish, comes roundabout
Not sure just what it is, the cause
Just tired, so very, it makes me pause

And think of all the past few months
His hurting words, his careless stunts
And all the rest that's happened since
The steps I take, keep leaving prints

Not ones I like, not good enough
Not sure the foot, made more than tough
If only's work their worming ways
Entering my brain, to daze

I ask myself, am I depressed
Should I just lounge or get redressed
Should I get out and take a walk
Inside this brain, I trade in talk

One part of me, cheerleads me on
The other part feels life's past, gone
The battle eases into sleep
So very tired, I slide in, deep

Each time to wake, each time in tears
Not knowing what or why the fears
Just knowing that inside, I die
Each day, when waking, from this, his lie.

"Time will heal", I hear it all
Words sent yet, inside I call
For help from He, but none has come
So here I sit, once more just numb....

Is friendship good, when e'er he nears
Am I like mother, or sister, dear
Is it okay to accept that name
From wife to that, am I to blame

Allowing him to think of me
To share his new thoughts, deep of she
Understand, I don't think so
Losing power, my force is slow

As tissues pile, this day alone
I disconnect, this saddened drone
And leave behind these words of less
I sigh, but why, to breathe, I guess.........

Wynter,

"Time will heal", I hear it all
Words sent yet, inside I call
For help from He, but none has come
So here I sit, once more just numb....

Help will come from He, keep believing and it will happen.

Oh Wynter, this is so sad and so lonely and so exactly like I feel most days.  

"Each time to wake, each time in tears
Not knowing what or why the fears
Just knowing that inside, I die
Each day, when waking, from this, his lie"

All of it was very good, that stanza especially, to me.

Fantastic poem. Cheer up, you know someday there is bound to be some happiness for us. There HAS to be..
Take care.
Luv,
Sandra
