There is no...

There is no...

A Poem by Gerhardus Retief

There is no comfort in what I see in you.
It wont rest like a lion that has seen it's prey.
So lost in it's addiction to chase after the dream.
Close those eyes because life wont take it away.
If you won't surrender to what you are then you will never be that way again.
There is no praise to what I have done these past months.
But I wont surrender to what I am,would rather fight against the demon in me.
Its a heartstring when I see you look at me so hurtfully.
Make me recognize without a slight demand.
There is no such thing in a breaking habit on the way down.
There is no way to be ready to die in the dim fading light.
A shaky tear with hands that can burn a precious memory for a very first time.
There is no meaning in these words if you cant see past the symbolism through a cross.
