Sleeping with a stranger
61
Stranger
The darkness falls between two hands of time
I never quite know how I survive it
I cant see it but I can feel my heart rate drop
I dream that I dream and I want it to stop.
I pray in the silent moment of darkness and wind
I rewind the time I was warm
I am now cold and my heart cries within
knowing ill forever feel torn.
His look as rough as the stinging rays
rip through my mind
If I prayed for another 100 days
there's still no light to find.
His silence beats me like a punch in the head
his lips are stern and pursed
his eyebrows dance in an angry dust
no way out, I am cursed.
Body still and trembling
whilst his breath is short and hard
his roughness makes my stomach turn
this, I cant discard.
Who is he? I ask myself
and whatever brought me here
knowing I deserve all this
to live in darkness and in fear-
His hand moves up towards my face
the look in his eyes are dark
There is nothing bright about this stranger
Hes just leaving his black mark.
I always knew this would happen
since you left me in the cold
Silent tears in the silent nights
silent truth to be told.
Then the black sun comes shining
waiting for my sign
but I will not give or surrender
I will await for whats mine
TheN the days turn to nights
and those turn to weeks
I wait for the hollow moon to befriend
He listens, he don't speak.
I weep into my little hands
I mumble under covers
I reflect a smile to familiar faces
and they think we are lovers
I try and I try I keep trying
to hold the truth together
lying was my best friends curse
And it will stay here forever,.

You know it's funny.. this hub has been sitting on my desktop 3 days, only because of the Evanescence video. Amy Lee is, for me, the most incredible artist alive. No one matches my heart and sensibilities like her and her voice. Nothing penetrates my soul like that longing voice of hers.
And then, this morning, prompted by your kind words, I've read your poem, and find myself near to tears, not only for you and your tragically breaking heart, but for mine as well.
I suppose it's not much of a secret, and if you don't mind, I'll continue to treat it so, but after 28 years of marriage, my wife and I find ourselves at odds as much as not, and it's a terrible struggle...for both of us. But, hey, we're working at it. Who knows what the future will bring...
To tell you the truth, I don't know why I felt I needed to confide in you, but only to say, I do get a sense that you're a tender soul, and I want you to know ... that you're not alone... and for me, friends are for life...
Godspeed, my friend...

......always an immense pleasure to receive a visit from you my truly inspired friend - and then to come here and allow myself to be taken away and lose myself in your words and your poetic soul - the beautiful woman that you are and my esteemed colleague and the highly regarded writer that you are .......5:29 am lake erie time Ontario, Canada
bbnix ... not everyone is as...gutly as yourself who would be ready to admit a struggle... I like yourself am never afraid to admit it .. It was hard.
But I will jut tell you one important thing...DO NOT LOSE HOPE!
I pray that better days lie ahead of you and your loved one.. Life is about struggle and how we deal with it what we take away from it.. I think it is cowardly not to work on things when they become difficult.But , there are certain situations one must get themselves out of and that includes betrayal, or any sort of physical or emotional abuse because you must always remember ..to yourself you are number one and no one is worth your pain.. we just simply have to...move on sometimes and find a better day if it dont find us first.
I wish you all the best and I share the passion with you, Ame Lee :))
epigramman THANK YOU FOR SUCH KIND WORDS as always ... I dont know but since you wrote your first comment on my hub you became a true pen-friend..

Nightmarish, but with a twinge of hope struggling beneath.

Excellent work, It seems it is based on some real life experience leading to such wonderful words bringing out true emotions.
