Poem: Can’t Take the Pain!

In shadows deep, where whispers fade,
A heart is left to ache and wane.
The world moves on, as if unscathed,
While I am bound to hold the pain.

In every corner, ghostly sighs,
Remind me of the times we knew.
Their echoes dance in hollow eyes,
And paint the skies a mournful hue.

The sun may rise, the moon may wane,
Yet still I wear this heavy chain.
Each breath a struggle, each step in vain,
I find I can’t escape the pain.

The nights are long, the days are cold,
Each memory like shards of glass.
They cut through flesh, they pierce the soul,
In every moment, shadows pass.

I grasp at hope with trembling hands,
Yet dreams dissolve like fleeting rain.
In quiet moments, truth demands—
Sometimes, you can’t take the pain.

But in this storm, amidst the strife,
I seek a light that doesn’t wane.
Though suffering etches through my life,
I’ll hold my course despite the pain.

For in the dark, a spark may rise,
A strength that’s born from fierce disdain.
And in the struggle, under skies,
Perhaps I’ll find a way to reign.

Thank-you for reading.

Much Love and Light,

Brenda Marie
