Completed

Strolling through life
Alone, and lonely
Til I turned a corner
And, ran right into you
I wasn't looking for you
That's what I'd have said
If you'd asked; you didn't
You simply waltzed into my heart
And, made it your own
Took control of my emotions
And, turned my world around
Filled a void in my soul
That I'd refused to acknowledge
And, for the first time in my life
I am complete

A Cry In The Night

Is anyone out there? Is anyone listening?
Tonight it seems as if I'm alone in all the world
My voice echoes back to me on the evening breeze
No one hears me as I cry, no one shares my pain
I'm left alone to battle my inner demons
They claw at my soul, shredding it bit by bit
Gaining purchase with each rake of their talons
I have no strength to fight their atack
I have nowhere to hide that they will not find me
Their screams reverberate inside my brain, mixing with my own
They give me no respite, constantly torturing my spirit
They have free rein in the darkness, and sunrise is eons away
Will I live to see it, or will they devour all that is left of me?
Is there anyone out there? Is anyone listening?
Or am I really alone?
