If only I could disappear
and softly fade away
If only there weren't others
asking me to stay
If only they could know
what piercing pain it is
to trudge along
Day after day
the bloody pain
to carry on
If only they'd stop seeing
worth that really isn't there
If only I could disappear
and not hurt anyone
The burning pain would chill
and fade like blazing sun
into the sea
This is not the
kind of sadness
that is washed
away with tears
This sadness
comes like the
ominous blackness
of the most
terrifying storm
Panic overwhelms me
and the tears
just won't come
It's impossible
to cry when
your heart and
soul are numb
Cut after cut
Cry after cry
Salty tears in the wounds
Till there's no tears to cry
My heart has endured
So manythat it's
Shredded to pieces
I'm so shredded inside
There's no feelings left to hide
Only numbness blows
Over me like the fierce
Winds of a storm
I am pelted with sand
Till I can't take anymore
But there's no escape
Nowhere to go
For the raging storm
Is in the pit of my soul
On a razor's edge of a bottomless pit
Afraid to look or take a breath
I close my eyes in shame
Standing on the precipice
Decision time is now
To take the leap or stand and weep
Where seething demons fear to creep
I search for my escape
Embrace the pain
It absorbs the shock
When plummeting downhill
You know it's gonna hurt
When you finally hit the rocks
Loosen up and free fall
So you won't get broken up
Quite so bad - Ain't it sad?
STUPID FOOL!
Trusting, hope, believing
All is kind and sweet and good
Your shredded heart bleeds hope and trust
Blood is dust...
The spiteful wind chased it to the four corners
Embrace?
Nothing left, not a trace.
Sweet numbness is the brush
That paints a smile upon your face.
If only I could disappear
and softly fade away
If only there weren't others
asking me to stay
If only they could know
what piercing pain it is
to trudge along
Day after day
the bloody pain
to carry on
If only they'd stop seeing
worth that really isn't there
If only I could disappear
and not hurt anyone
The burning pain would chill
and fade like blazing sun
into the sea
This is not the
kind of sadness
that is washed
away with tears
This sadness
comes like the
ominous blackness
of the most
terrifying storm
Panic overwhelms me
and the tears
just won't come
It's impossible
to cry when
your heart and
soul are numb
Cut after cut
Cry after cry
Salty tears in the wounds
Till there's no tears to cry
My heart has endured
So manythat it's
Shredded to pieces
I'm so shredded inside
There's no feelings left to hide
Only numbness blows
Over me like the fierce
Winds of a storm
I am pelted with sand
Till I can't take anymore
But there's no escape
Nowhere to go
For the raging storm

On a razor's edge of a bottomless pit
Afraid to look or take a breath
I close my eyes in shame
Standing on the precipice
Decision time is now
To take the leap or stand and weep
Where seething demons fear to creep
I search for my escape
What of my place?
I asked her
She answered with
the music of her
dancing leaves.
They were connected
to her branches
safely dancing in the breeze.
One by one her children-leaves
transformed - a brilliant hue.
Then one by one
let go of her
to fly beneath the blue.
Therein lies the answer:
Mother Earth
to
Tree
to
Father Sky
to
me.
In the beginning, it was so very clear
Somehow - somewhere along the path
I lost my vision
An old man once told me I was looking
with the wrong eyes
I didn't listen - he disappeared
Dim and hard to see
Still, I continue...
Young and beautiful
Old and mad
Joy and forgiveness
Sorrow and sad
As sunlight filters through
branches of trees
Tiny, shiny patches of real...
The clarity returns.
