Abyss

I feel so lonely, and out of sync
I've come to the end of my rope
I've reached my limit, I'm at the brink
I've lost my way, I have no hope
I am living in a black abyss
And edging on oblivion
I know I cannot go on like this
I have to start to live again
Surely somewhere deep inside myself
I can find the strength that I need
To start out on the long road to health
And follow wherever it leads
But all I can see is darkness now
I don't know how to reach the light
I just keep spiralling further down
Though I'm trying my best to fight
I need someone to throw out a line
To take my hand and not let go
To help me reach that one place in time
Where I can take back my lost soul

The Poems of
Terri Lyn Stanfield
Always On My Mind

I think of you, and it brings a smile to my face
Remembering times we've been together
Things we've done, talks we've had
Just being with you brings joy to my heart
You reached into the darkest recesses of my soul
And lit them up with your unconditional love
Though hundreds of miles lay between us
I have only to think of you, and you are here
In my heart, in my mind, surrounding me
Lifting my spirits, soothing my turmoil
Being everything that I need you to be
And all I have to do is think of you
And so I do, constantly, for I want you with me always

Angel

You must surely be an angel
What else could explain your aura
The purity of your spirit
The way you glow with innocence
Or the way just your presence calms
The way your smile lights up a room
The way your touch soothes a soul's pain
There's no other explanation
That comes close to doing justice
In describing your sweet beauty
You are an angel come to earth
And after being touched by you
I'll never again be the same
