Midnight Rambles
Fear...
I watch her quietly try to cope...
while her mind continually betrays...
the quiet fear within her eyes
and a smile stretched across her face
each time I catch her saddened gaze,
I feel how hard she tries
and every time that she forgets
another little piece dies.
a once vibrant brilliant soul
that kept the world at bay
now scared and silent, trapped..
because she has forgotten what to say
it hurts because I know that pain
how deep it cuts your soul.
to be trapped inside your very own mind
how easy to just let go...
The lonely fear that haunts
that makes every breath a chore
the days when you just sit and stare
capable of nothing more.
I sit and watch my mother
as she drifts silently within
caught amidst reliving
the thoughts of what has been
so scared that if she let's them go
they'll melt away like winter snow...
afraid to let her anxiety show
for as the fear inside her grows
she tries to hide the fact she knows...
she's forgotten yet again...
Fear...
