“The Curtains” 

It is 3 AM,

And I looked at the window,

And I thought I should change those.

Then I was filled with sorrow,

Change them?
  

But why?

I will not be here much longer.

Then I cry.

This place has been,

The constant thing in my life.
  I know I have been blessed.

But I realize my life has been filled with strife.
  

I know that,

I am hurting.

But all I can think about.

Are the curtains,

“Broken”

I know my I feel Unbreakable.

That was so unbelievable.

Who was I,

To make that claim believable.

I am broken.

So many words,

That were spoken.

 I know people think so small of me.

Must be strong,

When there’s,

No strength left,

In me anyway.

Broken.

I used to think I was Unbreakable.

Now I just think,

It is unspeakable.

I Have Two Candles Now

“I Have Two Candles Now”

I have two candles now.

One for my mom and one for my dad.

I light them on special days.

Or just when I am sad.

They are both gone now.

And I do not know where to turn.

The memories,

They burn.

I do not feel,

Like I had enough time.

With them.

I feel cheated.

But I have my two candles now.

I light them on special days.

I miss them so much,

In so many ways.

“Too much, Too Soon, Too Fast”

So much has changed,

In so few months.

I think this may be taking,

More than I’ve got.

I’m going to have to move again,

This will be the 21st time.

I feel like my world is spinning,

On a dime.

I’ve employed a resume writer,

In the hope I’ll find employment.

With some gain.

It’s driving me insane.

I just hope I can find something,

And somewhere.

That at least.

I can find some peace,

And have a moment for release.

A Cup of Water

“A Cup of Water”

This one is really,

Hard to wright.

I want to make sure,

It’s right.

On Christmas Eve,

My Dad asked me to get him,

A simple cup of water.

But for the simple things the Doctors said let him.

So I said you need to do that yourself,

And he ended up falling and breaking,

His hip and is arm.

So I called my sister in alarm.

I could not get him up,

On my own.

He couldn’t get up on his own.

This is something I own.

He ended up in rehab.

Then got pneumonia.

And on my 50th Birthday.

He died.

I’ve tried to get it out of my head.

Heaven knows I’ve tried.

A simple cup of water.

I don’t know what to say.

I guess it doesn’t matter,

In anyway.

“Next Door”

I used to have family and friends,

Next door.

But that is not going to happen,

Anymore.

  

Ten years,

Many tears.

But that is just not going to happen,

Anymore.

  

Where do I go from this?

Where do I go from here?

I’ve no idea,

From here to there.

  

I used to have family and friends,

Next door.

But that is not going to happen,

Anymore.
