Divorce is hard on all of us...especially the children. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267857/ I feel the demons moving, edging closer to my soul,And see the air I’m breathing in the darkness and the cold.I’ve nowhere left to run as my world is slowing down,With evil staring back at me, I stumble to the ground.With ice inside my veins as the spirit beckons me,Commanding .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267850/ No time to rest my weary head as the battle rages on,With thunder rolling in the skies, rumbling at the dawn.Captured by these eyes, through years of pain I’ve seen,A tortured past that never leaves and most would call obscene.Sometimes I wonder if it’s me, this boy still so naiv.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267848/ Step inside my mind, into a world you won't believe,Far beyond reality, for years without reprieve.Residual effects of this tortured past I've seen,Reliving devastation every time I dare to dream.Bringing to a halt, a world that used to seem so fast,I wonder…will the nightmares stop.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267845/ Just like every other dream as I fall fast asleep,Safe inside this slumber is the one true love I keep.Free from all the heartache, it’s in her that I confide,And give to her my heart and soul and suddenly I’m alive.With the truest form of destiny living in her eyes,I see my li.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267840/ Running for years on end, from the devil inside of me,Seeking shelter, from Helter Skelter, in a world of make believe.It’s a land that no one enters, except at their own risk,Where even angels are afraid to fly, the thought would be remiss.With blackened skies that cast its shadows, o.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267839/ There is another world inside, just look and you will find,The secrets of a distant life within this futile mind.A soul forever lost, in what my mind derives from sin,Trapped in this asylum where no others enter in.Hidden from the masses, from a world that cannot see,Blinded by the midnigh.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267836/ At first glance you think you see what stands before your eyes.But a closer look reveals the truth and soon you realize.Not nearly what it seems to be, life’s riddle begins to tell,The tales of torture, from within the chambers of this hell.Sickened by the very thought of waking once a.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267835/ To and for my son...my hero. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267834/ You breathe in me, a life and love like I have never seen,At closer look I see in you the woman of my dreams.Your eyes reveal the answer to love's true mystery,A solve that most will never find in life or fantasy.Giving all I have to you, no longer afraid to fall,In love with you forever, .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267831/ Here I go again…running from my age old fears,Destined for a tragic life, built throughout the years.An ache inside I can't convey, a wasted life it seems,As all I've ever wanted has been stolen from my dreams.While this may be the last chance to save my struggling soul,Time is not .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267830/ How can others say they know the man inside of me,Never walking in my shoes and seeing what I see.Judging without knowing, what drives this man each day,Stalking in the shadows, waiting on the words I say.Pushing every limit, praying that I'll someday leave,To walk away from all I know and.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267828/ I wish I could explain to you what makes me want to hide,To help you see, so clearly, all the things I fear inside.Dreaming of a better time, when each sunrise we are one,Dying just to hold you close until the morning sun.As I fall asleep each night and wonder if it’s real,Seemingly .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267803/ For my baby girl...not such a baby anymore as a teen, by my little girl nonetheless. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267801/ Please wake me in the morning, though just before the dawn,Saving me from nightmare dreams, as I’m barely hanging on.With all these faded memories that roam my mind each day,I’m left to wonder if the torture, scars and pain will fade.Nothing really seeming real as time keeps movi.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267799/ Lost inside these lonely nights of a broken yesterday,Forever trapped within, praying life’s pain will go away.The worthlessness I feel, is killing my heart and mind.Creating a dispirited soul, in one that once refused to die.I don’t know what to think anymore, of a life I used t.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267797/ This defines being an individual, taking control and conquering fears. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267678/ This is a cry for help, a need for life to change...for the pains of past to go away. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/waywardheart/267672/
