My Resurrection
By Foreshadow
I’m throwing letters on the page hoping they form words that may ease my plight
It is not helping in the least because nothing on the page seems close to right
Thoughts and feelings at this point are not able to coincide
My head is trying to rule my heart but the feelings are not released, instead they hide.
This leaves me feeling disconnected and torn apart
My head has had a falling out with my heart.
The last 365 have been spent in blinding shades of grey
Nothing was enough to make me, wanting to try beginning a new day
I didn’t see the people passing through trying to reach out to me
I saw shadows of what we were and the way we used to be
In the darkness there were masked women offering an embrace
However, in my eyes each one that was unveiled showed her face.
I clung to a gravestone of my past hoping for a resurrection
Wishing every minute, that she would wake me up and return my affection
No one seemed to understand that I was no longer the person that they once knew
I lost a large part of me the day she left, and each day that followed that void grew
To put their minds at ease I painted on a smile and did my song and dance
When their backs were turned I retreated into memories of her at every chance.
Mummified in bandages of self pity I settled into my death and tomb
But I was mistaken, because I found myself inside a womb
I thought the world that I knew was dead and I had died with it
Recently though I was reborn into a life with chances of love and happiness in it
I have a new light in my life and it has coloured in the grey
That has given me the strength to say my final farewell today.
