In Pain

A Poem by Robert C.

Why am I blind
When you are near
Please take my hand
Remove my fear

I am so lost
Nowhere to go
And at what cost
My terror grows

I'm falling towards
My casualty
No wings to grasp
A hold of me

What can I do
To relieve this pain
That's holding on
To everything

It's in my heart
An imprisoned view
Of a life with me
But without you

No way to heal
A heart that's torn
For what I've felt
Has been reborn

My soul's been sheared
By brittle hands
I'll disappear
With no feet to stand

Only the night
The darkness around
Can know my fright
In which I've drowned

I've been battered
And bruised I've been
My body left in tatters
With no hope within
