*~*Grits in Life*~*

Soulless

There was once a time

Where smiles

Erupt from every where

Every where

Now it's not so much like that

There is crying

There aren't smiles

There is hollowness

We have become soulless

And I think

I have most of all

For everywhere I go

I can never find peace 

In my mind

Everything seems so

Useless

So soulless

to me

Maybe the hollow floor

Of a grave

Is the final place

To go.

Who is He?

He is always there

He likes to make fun

Likes to be mean

He enjoys to yell

He loves it all

Yet no one 

Can guess

Who he is.

*~*Grits in Life*~*

Unfathomable End

 
There is

No such thing as

Shallow

For everything falls

Down to an

Bottomless pit

A pit where nothing

Ever returns

And for you and I

This pit has

Become our

Unfathomable end.

*~*Grits in Life*~*

Lost

 There's the beating 

Of my heart

There's this feeling

That I cannot stop

The world around me

Fires

And roars with missiles and guns

The victim

Is always me

For what I really need

For what I really see

Is this spark 

Of hope

That slowly

Lifts the burden off of me.

*~*Grits in Life*~*

Demon Of My Nightmare

There's a yell

There's a scream

There's everything

That burdens me

The sound of death

Tingling in my ears 

The sound of great mercy

Being pierced in my ears 

The world is spinning

Yet I'm still standing

The world is shaking

Yet I'm still holding

Because beyond this demon

Beyond this nightmare

The sweet scent of hope

Brushes my nose.

*~*Grits in Life*~*

Destroying

Ever had that feeling

That everything

Is slowly falling

Falling on you?

The jolly good heart

Has now been cut

With a sharp dart

The feelings 

That once were there

Are slowly burning 

To despair

Everything is destroying

Just because

You're gone. 

*~*~*Fatima*~*~*

*~*Grits in Life*~*

Losing the Battle

Sometimes 

There isn't happily ever after

Sometimes

You lose

The chemo has kicked in

Darkness is emerging

Still I fight

Finding hope was tough

The radiation,

The blood

Everything has got me

Ever so numb

For losing myself

Isn't important

As losing

You.
