Let the sunset kiss the night As it fades into twilight While I walk sands of time; Let the moonrise rise to greet Not guide my straying feet Or this wandering mind. Let me find you not in harm No new marks stripe your arm And red razor not in your hand, Let me return find you whole Less the tormented soul When I leave the gritty sand. Waves crashing in deafening roar To smooth footprints once more Erasing my pathway complete; Will you last for another day Or be finally slashed away Never again in the life greet. I never could protect you From the things that you do, The self inflicted pain Mutilations and delusion Drug tipped wild emotions, Spent time and time again. Your life is yours alone With each your sins to atone, You choose self persecution Shifting from high to low With swirling winds you blow Slicing into deep depression. I can no longer ease the pain Or force living to remain To search for some contentment, So you roll up and then recede Heal to slice and slowly bleed Till you’re locked in confinement. Footprints washed without a trace, Sand and water switching place As the mist and tears wet my face. Gloom |

heartwrenching words I've seen this - you just want to make them stop, make them love themself enough to live, to hope, to dream and they don't want to and/or can't. So sad this morning...so good to hear your loving words about someone in such pain |

Let the sunset kiss the night As it fades into twilight While I walk sands of time; Let the moonrise rise to greet Not guide my straying feet Or this wandering mind. I try to see beyond the gloom... M |

Such expression of tormented times, deepest wounds watching a loved one digress. Hugs Gloom, TD |

"Footprints washed without a trace, Sand and water switching place As the mist and tears wet my face." were we to so easily was away the past or those haunting memories that leave their traces long after the footprints are gone (((HUGS))) |
