Disguise

The comfortable soothing of the night
Is no longer there… its gone from my sight
Velvet night… no longer able to trust
Memories of happiness turn to dust

My mind tries to hold on and tries to fight
When darkness attacks with such force and might
Knocking down barriers that try to stand
With nothing but a simple quick command

The shadows move and shift, a mocking dance
I run, cower, from their powerful stance
I look for a small ray of hope to hold
Only I find nothing... the bitter cold

I pull myself inward, I try to hide
Waiting for the pain to leave and subside
Looking around me with these clouded eyes
Trapped inside this smiling disguise

RP25...very well said...emotional..
HOW TRUE...our disguise is our face
that hides all of the pain that we
sometimes have within...Nicely done

Magnus -  It's amazing how much you can hide with a simple smile. Thanks for reading.

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Tara, I know just how you feel, and I too can relate to these feelings, for I believe so many never release their tears to others and hide the sorrow to the inside and wear a fake grin on the outside. (big hugggssssss) I am always here for you, sweet friend, if you need someone to share your feelings with, we all love you so very much! (kiss on cheek) You are an angel to us all, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Tara, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Tara,

This is heartbreakingly sad.  BIG (((hugs))) to you, my friend.  Things will get better and you'll not need that disguise. Be well...

Tara: it will always trouble me to see you in pain, no matter how much you tell me that you will get through it, its the now that I worry about. I love you my dearest friend. I will always be here for you.... ALWAYS.

Love and Kisses

Alone in the dark, through my thoughts comfort I do seek, through my words I find peace.
