still winds whisper in my ear
Folder:
My trashcan poetry Standing alone as still winds whisper in my ear
while fingers of the night gently touch my skin
with the pale moon light reflecting off the snow
I look across the valley far below
a shiver runs down my back as memories dance
like frost in the night air
oh how these cold winter nights seem longer than they
used to or maybe it's just a sine I'm getting old
feeling as alone as a sparrow in the snow on a cold december day
saying I love you to a woman on the phone twelve hundred miles away
wondering why I torture myself this way
but then again I'm no stranger to pain
you can see the wounds on the outside by the scares both old an new
stab me with a knife an if I survive it's just wound that will heal with time
but word's said in spite an anger cut deeper than anything man can make
I find Myself wondering why is it after all these years
that I've been alone
I still wake in the middle of the night reaching out across the bed
for someone that will never be there
the whiskey burns as it dulls the pain,but it doesn't make it go away
when the Pain turns to anger I become my own stranger
and walk through the night looking for a fight
there's a ache in me that cries out that I try to ignore
but it's there every night as the sun goes down
the darkness it surrounds me body an soul
to many times in my journey though this life I have failed
no matter how hard I try nothing ever seems to work out
the only bright light in my life is my kids
they are the only thing I've done in this life that I haven't
managed screw up
it gives me joy to see them spread their wings
but saddens me as they fly away
Still winds whisper in my ear
once again I'm alone
