PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I know my strength through my tears
and through the defenses I have built
my life lay's exposed to the ones who 
know me best
what I've won 
what I've lost and everything I lack
into the darkness I carry my memories of her
as a staff of light that glows eerily down the darkened path 
I'm on
shining upon all the all the tears I've shed
and all the years behind them I can't seem to put to rest
I am forever trapped in a world void of her 
but I'm not devoid of the light she left behind 
I know my strength through my tears and everything I lack
