    IT'S 4:00 AM, AND I'M STILL AWAKE

     i count the hours every night as they slowly go by. i haven't slept in three years.
    waiting for the clock to sound off, telling me it's time to wake my son for school. afer he leaves,i softly shed my tears.
    am i alone in this world? is this the way it is meant to be? tears, tears ,tears. oh God save me from the tears. help me find a girl.
    to love and lose, is better than to have never loved at all. isn't that what they say?  broken memories of times gone past. an email, or just a call.
    if only you were here with me, whom ever you may be. if only love were lasting, like the blue in the sky, or a mighty oak tree.
    it's 4:00 am and i'm still awake.

    I can't possibly understand what you've gone through, or the pain you feel, but I am truly sorry for your pain. I think you've made a good start in getting it all out in poetry. Good job Steve.

    thanks KtIrish. my pains are no worst than most of us on here. but, like all of us, i feel that it's a battle that i must fight. after losing most of the use of my left hand, losing my wife, my job, and going thru med additions. i feel like my life is more like a war.

    i really like this one, i can totally relate to laying away at 4am, actually im not laying down im washing nicotine tar off the walls but hey, we all got a problem right. sometimes being alone and finding yourself again is better than loving someone and losing yourself. Until we find ourselves, we cannot find our soulmate either. Have hope, it seems you're well on your way!

    Thoughts like these are best shared to begin the healing process, so you've made a great start by getting back into your poetry and joining OP. I don't know the story behind your accident or current need for pain relief meds but one thing I know is that your son has chosen to be with you, and that speaks well of you as a father and shows that you care for his well being regardless of your current inner struggle. So good luck to you my friend, I hope the clouds part and your days brighten soon. DF

    DF, sounds like your an angel, cause angels always know what to say to make someone feel better. thank you

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
