New Beginnings
Your feelings become turmoil,
Everything you care about is gone.
Buried eight feet in the soil,
You cannot help but feel alone.
Everyone tries to comfort you,
Saying their words of kindness.
Yet tears cover your face like dew,
Your thoughts very restless.
Once you were able to feel,
The happiness of joy.
Nothing seems real,
Not even your little boy.
He was ripped away from you,
The only thing in life you had.
Like smoke going up a flue,
Making you feel sad.
She had promised you would be,
A big part of his life.
Now you can see,
She told lies, your ex-wife.
After some time you have to choose,
To go through the pain and suffering.
Or to give up and lose,
Either way there is longing.
Everyone near you is hurt,
Your feelings causing pain.
Nobody else can have your heart,
You leave them out in the rain.
Their own sorrow you ignore,
Swallowed whole by your grief.
Your heart is empty nothing at the core,
All they want is for you to feel relief.
Those who love you the most,
Stand patiently by your side.
Allowing you to coast,
Ready for when you need a ride.
You lie awake at night,
Longing for eternal darkness.
Turning away from the light,
Embracing the emptiness.
Resisting the peace of death,
For there is still hope for life.
Passing up the funeral wreath,
Giving up all the strife.
An angel has found you,
She will be your guide.
Bringing jubilation anew,
Easing you from the other side.
On your face, you wear a smile,
The spark of life reborn.
Even though it will take awhile,
You are no longer torn.
Into the dark, you commit the past,
Purging all thoughts of them.
You can make this one last,
The angel becomes your gem.
With each little kiss,
She rekindles your hope.
Helping you forget what you miss,
Making it easier to cope.
Peace is no longer a dream,
The darkness ripped away.
Her beauty shining like a beam,
You embrace life in a new way.
