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.
