Was it fair, was I destined to peer in from the out?
I thought I stopped straddling the fence
By now both feet should be on the other side
I even stopped praying every night for the wishes that would never turn into dreams
In an effort to be a decent being I get the wrong end of the stick
Maybe had I had known you never walk in with a smile on your face
Maybe than I wouldn't be the one watching and wishing false hope
In my dream I was a helpless mantel
The smiles tossed back and forth amongst them while I stand back dying
I was not good enough to have the same
Were you so brainwashed not to honestly see the truth behind their mask
I laid my whole life down before you, never was it taken
If there is such a thing as a higher being
Why am I standing here alone while everything is taken away from me?
And while I cry out I get no help in return but silence and a stoned heart
Day in and out I wake going on with my life erasing everything that
Makes me woeful, putting everything I lost behind me
At night I’m mocked with laughter as it is all brought back to me
In my dreams, as if I haven’t suffered enough over time
I stand back hopeless and watch as you run through that door
Never to look back at me again as the words of promises escape your lips
I swallow my pride erase the pain once again I hide inside
Words of truth escape my lips as you disappear behind closed doors
“Take care of him please like I would have “I say to her
She looks back smiles, than continues on her journey of the life
That was once mine

I do not need shine or wealth, just a pen and some paper for my health

A beautiful expression of words.
