One Day

SerenWise

One day. 

That's all I wanted.

One day, of respite

From the searing pain,

And the icy clutch

At my beating heart

Which calcifies by the minute,

Bathed in the constant

Drip... Drop...

Of my mineral tears.

 

One day.

Is too much to ask.

Too much - a burden

On all around me,

And the endless waves

Of sadness, crash around

Inside my weary head,

In time with the 

Drip... Drop...

Of my briny tears.

 

One day.

I'm still waiting.

And I hope, I pray

For the sun to rise,

And the light to burn away

The sea in which I drown,

And my happiness

May yet be found...

One day?

    as a general rule, it would not seem too much to ask, but then again.. it depends on what you may have done previously...... unhappiness is a state of mind.. not just a statement..... Neville

    The happiness and light are there for you - hopefully this day.
