unlit window
the darkness
within me
unlit window
the darkness
within me
walking out
of the darkness
spring dawn
Have you ever
Had your new life packed in boxes
And airmailed home?
Have you ever
Listened to your doctor break the news
And had your world come crashing down?
Have you ever
Dreamt of holding your child in your arms
But known it will never happen?
Have you ever
Wondered just how much more
You can lose?
Have you ever
Thought ‘I can’t do this anymore’
But still carried on?
I have
Have you? ©
Needing a reason to stay strong
Surely fortune’s got this wrong?
Fate’s playing a cruel song
Pain shouldn’t last this long ©
Though appear far from glum
Behind smile emotions numb
Hard to hang on
When battles can’t be won ©
balancing
on life’s tightrope
your arms outstretched
stumbling
through life’s darkness
your hands hold steady
