"Shadows"

After spouse abuse I had seizures for over ten years...I would get up in the night and write down a poem..not even knowing that I had gotten out of the bed..I found hundreds of poems written when I was in this black seizure period. Where their idea came

 

      "Shadows"

 

Light and shadows, against the wall,

Day and night ...at my beck and call.

Truth and lie, accepted at will...

Life and death forgotten...until

Pain and comfort... recall it all.

Daydream and nightmare, come at night fall.

 

In night's shadows, death does lie,

In daylight...all dreams die.

Life and comfort, so hard to find.

Death and pain...often first, in the mind.

Daydream's lies...twisted with pain.

Truth in nightmares, old memories lain.

 

So much to lose...so little gained,

Teardrops falling, from yesterday's rain.

Love and hate, closely intwined,

Accepting...you...are no longer mine.

Living in the shadows...of truth and lies.

Living with no comforts, may death's pain die.

 

Buried so deep, I can no longer feel pain.

Nightmares of you...over...again and again.

Deep in the darkness, longing to hide,

With all shadows...locked up outside.
