Bed Un-Rest I really wish you understood it's not those little amber bottles with the reality numbing contents that I need I don't care about the pain today It's just a fraction of what I'm feeling I know you can't see it, so you don't believe But really, those white coated so called "pain killers" will not stop this ache It's just one of those nights, when I light the candles, curl myself up in the blanket hold my memories close to my chest and listen to Russell Watson, belt out another one of our favorite songs Maybe take a trip over that Bridge, you know the one I'm talking about, where the waters below will carry all our troubles away Or maybe I'll let Andrea sing Ava Maria for me and it will be then, that I cry Cry for all those times, I couldn't or wouldn't. I never remember that's my favorite song until I hear it, I wonder why that is It reminds me of when I was happy, scared and about to become a woman Ah, yes, that's why, because it reminds of then, when White was the color and blood was the price, when the tears stopped and prayers were lost in the muffled pleas.... Wait, this isn't where I wanted to be, not in that moment ... not in that time.... Maybe you're right after all, I am rather tired and the pain is worse now What's one more day lost ... in amber "Trace my body with your words |

How sad!! I should hope one would never so willingly surrender to pain and a haze of amber. Hope and faith and the promise of better days should put strength in your heart and spirit. A lovely poem, I only hope such desolate days are rare. May Today there be peace within you. |

it's another day lost...today is a gift, that's why they call it the present a present is of no use until it is unwrapped |

Ouch... now that is painful... nicely written and well presented... but disturbing in the pain conveyed and the resolutions... if it is personal.. my thoughts and wishes are for you... |
