It could never be said you had nothing to do
In fact you are busy, made so by circumstance
I have watched you, head down bum up
Slaving away at your next task
You say it passes the day
But we both know it’s the escape
The place its better to be than
The harsh reality that awaits you.
You turn away at the suggestion of talk
You deny there is an issue
Pretend everything is good
When we know you hurt so much.
Inside you are a mess,
The demons are in your ear
Yell and scream at you
Decrying every move you make to
Put them in the places they deserve.
They are tearing you apart
Dissolving you before my eyes
And all I can do, day in day out
Is hang in here with you
Hold your hand
Tell you I love you
That I won’t abandon you
But be a constant in your life
Reaching into your soul
Showing you hope you think has vanished.
You will never be alone
While I am here.

So heart warming and beautiful…
Thank you so much Shivangi, hope you are well today…
I am… Have a wonderful Christmas!
Thank you , you too….
Another beautiful anthem to the power of hope and love.
Thank you my friend, appreciate your kind words…
I could fall in love with this.
Thank you Brenda, that is a lovely comment…..hope all things Christmas come your way…
I hope my children are wreathed in smiles Christmas morning. They are my avaricious little dears. XOXO
This is an incredibly inspired piece as prompted by the song – which I happen to love – I think you have penned such a strong and perceptive piece Michael – it really reaches deeply.
Thank you mj, often the inspiration comes from others including the song lyric…..so pleased you liked this one….have you have a great Christmas week…
I agree with you both about inspiration. I have the happy task of choosing just ONE song per week to bring out your spirit in the form of poetry. Oftentimes, the song chooses me and I love when they resonate with other people.
I have not been writing as many as I would like. Perhaps I will join in the fun soon 😀
