These

These words, trying to tell the world how I feel
Trying to exorcise the pain inside
What do they achieve? Nothing that I can see
Because the hurt still eats away
Gnawing at my heart and soul
Until all hope. all light is gone
Maybe at another time, in another place
I could love and laugh, be who I know myself to be

But not here, not now, not ever

Love & best wishes to all

Existence

The blankness of the new page
Mirrors the vacuum inside
Never will love come to fill
The void that lies in my heart

The tears that well in my eyes
Never wash my pain away
I know, as long as I live
That nothing can ever change

****

Love & best wishes to all
