Stillness

I’m just so tired... so truly spent.
Not tired as in lack of sleep
Nor tired as in unfinished feat
More like darkness, engulfing fear
There are always some things you just can not beat

I have thought it all over
My head spinning, eyes blurred
Tried to explain, to open my heart
To cover up all this pain
Always I cause such over concern

Nothing left I have to give
Damaged and charred am I my dear
The smiles remain, the laughs in vain
Pain is eternal no matter the love
Time heals they say
As it will for you also...
When so still do I lay
