The Same Ole Song

The days seem ever longer
My heart continues to break
I'm racked with indecision
Fate seems to glower
Laughing at me for even trying
Each turn I take
Someone else seems to suffer
I tried to end the vicious cycle,
Yet it found me, again and again
Sometimes these thoughts interrupt
Singing the same tunes I used to hear
Day after day it's harder to ignore
Can I handle more?

Being Swallowed

The feelings return
Darkness looms
I seek the lining
That which saves
It seems within reach
But forever distant
My mind just wanders
How long til I breach
When giving in, becomes sweet relief.........
