It will always get better, if one allows it...

poem by: Anthony Blake
Written on Dec 27, 2014

Listen to the sounds
The silence of loneliness
Can be deafening

Memories linger
A time and place, decades past
Unite mom and son

Her presence calms me
Her love a blessing to all
I strive to deserve

Dreams of loss invade
The war with sleep continues
Eyes afraid to close

Peace and happiness
Hidden by the fear and pain
Life comes after death

Keep those I love safe
Suffer unto me the wrath
For the hurt I've caused

Pain from love so real
Life being life nothing more
Beginning the end

Words spoken not meant
Dust on the wind fills my tears
Sleep not always safe

Pursuit of fortune
Blood covered words no guilt felt
Lost and so alone
