“All we can do is sit and wait” <br />Is what they said <br />They knew the answer <br />All along <br />They just didn’t want to tell us <br />Until the time came <br />I couldn’t stay and watch <br />I knew it was a matter of time <br />Before there was nothing left <br />To help fight <br />What she had fought for so long <br />I wanted to do everything <br />In my power <br />To make it better <br />Seeing her <br />Lying there <br />Motionless <br />Helpless <br />When she was always <br />The strongest one <br />When the news came <br />I turned away <br />And I asked God <br />“Why me? ” <br />I didn’t let the answer come to me <br />I let all the hurt flow instead <br />Like it was in my bloodstream <br />On a day to day basis <br />Shutting everyone out <br /> <br />As I sit alone in the dark <br />I can hear the voices <br />Taunting me <br />And telling me to <br />Hate <br />And destroy everything <br />In my path <br />I do everything they tell me <br />Thinking that it would mute the pain <br />For the time being <br />I always feel <br />A dark presence <br />Lingering for more hatred <br />As I feel I am slipping into the darkest time <br />I hear a voice that is strange, <br />But familiar at the same time <br />She tells me to trust her <br />And that she’s been watching me <br />I try to figure out who it is <br />And she says she loves me <br />I suddenly become overwhelmed <br />With mixed emotions <br />As one thought runs through my head <br />It’s her, from before <br />She tells me not to be this way <br />She tells me it’s not the way to go <br />I knew she was right <br />That she taught us better <br />That she taught us to be stronger <br />Than to give up <br />I start to see the other side <br />Finally seeing the light <br />On the other side of the tunnel <br />Slowly I turn my faith back to God <br />Believing that He was there for me <br />In my dark era <br />For once in my life <br />I understand why these things happen <br />And that God had always <br />And will always be there for me<br /><br />Tofur Damico<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unkown/
