Tear Stained Pillow

 

An army of thoughts and emotion overtake my mind

Memories of the down sweep the oar of joy away

The demons of the past, attack endlessly everyday

Is there anyone who is feeling what I am feeling now?

I’m fighting a great war in such a small place

Security is just one of the casualties who lost their space

At the end of the day when I discontinue the charades

My tear stained pillow soaked with the days events

Echo’s the emotions so deep within

Flood of fear flows in the valley of time

Who will absorb the water after the pillow drowns

The pillow is one of the longest friends; it knows every memory poured out

It’s the comfort at the days end

 

I desire to let my wings fly free

The tested truth was shown to me

Someone tried to show us who we are

Giving us an unheard grace, in exchange we gave him a cross

 

But the story has a beautiful twist, something completely new

The pain he felt on the cross was nothing I could do

He looked at me and asked, why are you so sad and blue

Did you know I cried right along with you?

I know how you feel being rejected and alone

When you cried a tear, my love cried two

I am ears to your silent pain

Eyes to your blinded struggles

I’m the loud voice of love to your quiet heart

Hands to give a healing touch

I’m the tear stained pillow

My peace is yours in the end, I love you forever friend
