The pain we healed from,
It came
Our own left the world
But we stand in sorrow
With heads looking at the dry ground
A drought that lasted so long
We all wish to see the rain
But the clouds don’t burst
So much death!
We screech in pain
A loss in battle
Overshadowed by pain
The happiness waits to be worn
The beauty of death is the pain is
Released.
Again the fear has risen
But we stand in silence
Nothing we do
Except wait
Except grieve
The pain becomes deeper
Until it is numb
Like a pitch black night
No light to give hope
We must pace ourselves
Become a strong rock
Become a senseless
Numb
Pile of nothing
Life isn’t graceful
It is sometimes ugly
It is sometimes a mere moment
It’s sometimes a century
Who knows?
The questions become louder
The answers become quieter
There is no end to the darkness
But, oh humans we love hope
Hope, hope, hope
All we do today
All we did yesterday
All we did all these years
This pain needs to reside
Everything needs to become
Numb
Numb and just numb
Before the pain leaves
The pain leaves,
We wear happiness again
Drape ourselves in solace
But, after we become numb.
