Through the pain, Hope remains

The sun rises gently,I feel alone, Dawn brings a chill like a stone. Chained by the day,
in this I stand, Holding on tightly,
but slipping like sand.Wishing to grasp what is slipping away,
Hoping to find you, at least for a day.
I wish and softly pray, that the pain will stay away. Beneath the heartache you create, My sure path seems to break. Obscured by night,I walk the dawn, Chained by the day,
my spirit drawn. With every breath,
losing light, Wishing and praying not to fight.With every moment,
the distance grows wide,Like waves receding, pulling aside.
You chase a memory, I chase despair, like fading ghosts,
we’re lost in the air. The memories replay, of you and yesterday.
I pause and then rewind—What purpose do I find?
You do not want me near,Dispelling all my cheer.
The things I said and did,Are twisted and are hid.
My spirit persists, In wistful dreams and gentle mists, I cherish all the moments we knew, For in my heart I still seek you. You lie like mist in the night, soft yet severe, Misinterpreting all that you hear.
Beneath you, the truth takes flight.Of all I've said and all I've done,
Distorted reflections have begun.So far from reach, like a child hides,
In a game of love where trust collides. Your words, like biting frost, collide, Distorting truth in every uttered line. I question what I missed, Where love has been dismissed, Where does the fault now lie, Beneath a weeping sky?I turn within to find where fault resides, No certain place for blame I can assign; Your words fall like the rain Repeating all my pain.Yet still I stand, though weary from strife, A fragile spirit, embracing life,A wish that one day you shall see,
The depth of love you hold in me.You paint the picture wrong,
Where do I now belong? So far beyond my view, Like games you never let through. A child in shadows deep, A secret you will keep, You hold my beating heart,Like thorns tear roses apart.
A beauty wrapped in love’s own thorns, Each prick, a wound, a startling blow. Each moment spent,a battle fought, Questioning self where did I stray? Caught in the heart's dismay. So far out of sight,
you hide and tease, Like children lost among the trees, for in the night I cry, Longing for you to hold me tight. You speak in riddles, words like smoke, Filling heart with hopeful pain, You twist the tale of all gone wrong, A love that felt so strong.And though the chains hold me tight... I shall not falter, nor lose the fight. For in the shadows where memories play, I find the strength to greet each day. So here I stand beneath the night, With hopes of dawn,dreams in sight,A soul encased in love’s embrace,In every tear, a memory’s grace.
