THE CARETAKER

When the stress got too much
And the burden too great
A dream I created
To help me through life
 
The black hole was too deep
To my soul it did go
For myself I had lost
Clinging tightly to life
 
Not a soul understood
None tried very hard
My reasons were lame
My mind in a mess



Many called me crazy
I suppose they were right
I was very busy
Clinging tightly to life
 
Illusions and visions
Brought me some light
To break the depression
To cease the hard fight
 
Like a phoenix I rise
Out of ashes and dust
Life returns to these limbs
My heart is made whole

I pick up the pieces
Relearn who I am
Pull strings back together
Of whom I once was
 
I will miss you forever
Our lives so entwined
Together so long
Now endlessly apart

Knowing you made me better
Though at the time I was less
Now our conflict is gone
My burden put down

A hug would have helped
A shoulder to weep on
A thought for the plight
When my strength was long gone

Instead the world left me
To handle it alone
The trips to hospital
And the fear for your life

To watch you decline
Alone and bereft
Like a phoenix I rise
With the gift you gave me

    I sometimes get political and tell it as I see it. I write to maintain my sanity.
