Still Breathing ©©

Another breath another day on this earth

Cursed to wander through life without true meaning

The nights are long and lonely 

The days a nightmare to endure 


Memories hide the pain of the man I was

Every scar, every blemish, every mark seen or unseen

Every fleeting heart that slipped away

Each a story burned deep into my soul 


Sleepless nights lost in thoughts of what might have been

I turned away from what I wanted to do what was right

I took you and put you in his arms then I died

Only the stars remember your name as I look up from this grave where I remain 


Every breath is another pain crushing a lonely lie

From afar I saw your pain when consume with loss

To my relief he was there to hold you tight as I wish I could have been

As the echos of time die into the night a face in the crowd washes away


How can you find true love after you gave it away

The scars you can’t see burn the most

Still I remain to go insane with regret 

Another breath to carry me forward to the next scar to mark my soul again

How I feel your words. Regret, should have, could have, why didn't I, can eat me alive, best to allow it to flow, flow through me, break me open from the pain, breathe, breathe, and try again.....
