The Roller Coaster

Time stalls for no man It marches on leaving victims at its wake Opportunities lost lie trampled in its grave While weeds of regret abound She tries to pull back the hands of time Her fragile hands grasping desperately Weak arms straining under the weight Sweat and tears come rushing down Emotionless eyes, no trace of hope She wishes she could take back words uttered in darkness Deeds done at dusk Alone and afraid she clings to nothing Scarred, fragile hands fall helplessly to her side All is lost The past cannot be rewritten What’s uttered cannot be taken back Now the future looms ahead Unknown, uncharted Questions pester her nearly insane mind Doubts fill the creases of her heart Yet she takes one tiny step forward Despite the excruciating pain and immobilizing fear Another step follows Tears flowing down She yearns to look back She yearns to run back Her foot fumbles forward Her future may be unknown But it can be brighter than her past Her pace quickens as courage fills her heart ...

Where are you? I can’t seem to see you in my life You who were always by my side now seem to have vanished Where are you? I can’t seem to feel your arms around me I was once so secure and comfortable Now I feel so vulnerable Where are you? The intensity of your voice has diminished I once heard a shout but now I catch a faint whisper Where are you? I am hopeless and confused without you You are my life, my song, the very breath I breathe Can’t you see I’m distraught? Can’t you see I’m hopelessly lost? Can’t you see I’m fighting for air as I sink into the depths of despair? When will you come as a prince on a white steed? When will you extend your hand and save me from the waters that threaten to overcome me? When will you swing your sword and admonish justice on my behalf? Come to my rescue my love! Don’t leave me in the hands of your enemies! Come quickly! Please don’t hide your face from me For you are all I have You are all I’m living...
