Trying To Cope

Take me from this time and place- Til my heart has fully grieved----      This half filled shell just plods along---------------------Unfulfilled                       Dreams turned to dust- the strength's been sapped- Desire Drained... I'm slowly drowning in all the uncertainty of tomorrow.                   I've had enough of opening up and trying for the dream I thought could be.                Trying to keep my glimmer lit- To brighten and shine ..and time                  Pondering What's it going to take to heal this heart of mine?------- And love again                  Have I inspiration enough within me- Is there any hope that's left?..............To continue on.....To hope the best of a more fulfilled rewarding future........... Or has it all been sucked dry?-Like the tears I've wept, Crusted, salty streaked stains upon my cheek-The crevassed lines of sorrow -Etched-There is no need to speak- Of my hearts' loves lost.                     How many tries does it take to get it right?  I've only this one life now- that I can recall......Wanting with all my heart to share with a beloved companion by my side...Is this asking too much?-Am I being too self-consumed , or has my time just taken flight?
