SO PASS SOME DAYS

So pass some days in anguish, pain and doubt,

The horizon pulls on a darker shade,

Nothing is certain, silence screams out,

A vision that once shone seems to fade.



Hard to believe half of me gone,

Yet the soul's struggle doesn't end,

The turmoil within keeps seething,

Questions like swords I can't defend.

                      

My near ones want to possess me,

Their attitudes disguised as love,

I look up at the One Who made me,

That glance upward comforts somehow.



At work or at home, I toil harder,

Have to keep everything going good,

Taking relaxants to sleep, wake up,

Fighting to live the way I should.



Promises! Ah, how many were made!

To keep this heart from drowning deep,

Even darkness couldn't draw the blinds,

When you your silent farewell bade.
