A faceless woman is staring back at me. What once was a woman of fire and spirit, Is now a woman who's desperate. I can no longer find my path... Tell me, mirror, will this nightmare pass? All I see around me is broken dreams... Mirror, tell me how do I fix the broken seams? At least, mirror, you have let some light through, I can see a man who's heart is true. So, tell me, mirror, is there any hope for me, Or must I drown in this misery? Mirror, Mirror, what is this I see? A faceless woman is staring back at me... -Charity L. Thomas
A graveyard of buried hopes Seems to be everywhere. Trying to figure out where I went wrong - Searching my graveyard for one last hope, I guess my graveyard must be strong. I notice that when I get one foot out of a grave, Everything blows up in my face - To be pulled into another hazy grave. I feel torment and shame - My graveyard is getting larger - no stopping it!- Who do I have for the blame? Tho' I must make this journey alone - I hope it won't be too long, For I'm looking through a tombstone. Screaming, clawing my way out - Will my graveyard ever end? I have my doubts. As I cry out for someone in the night, I keep burying hopes in my graveyard - You can see it in my eyes... -Charity L. Thomas
surrounds my heart and soul. I fear my time on earth is nigh, and my life I no longer control. My love for everything I hold dear, has fled from my exploding world. I'm on my knees pleading, screaming for this fire to let go. I'm scared of turning back, and I'm scared to let go. If I turn back - I can always look back, and if I let go - I'll have nothing. The fear of both, captivates me. I'm spiraling deeper and deeper into the flames. All is lost and no one can save me - not even from myself. -Charity L. Thomas
I can feel your arms around me even when you're not near, I can feel your lips kiss mine even though we are miles apart. I can hear your voice call to me in the night, And I can still see your face when I close my eyes. The warmth of the sun I feel on my face - is but only your arms in a warm embrace; The rain falling around me - is only the tears that you have cried; And the gentle breeze that blows - is only your breath intwined in mine... No matter the distance, I can still feel you. Your eyes filled with love and understanding, Your smile lighting the way; I still feel your arms holding me, Even though we're miles away... No matter the distance, no matter the storm, I know we can make it in eachother's arms. Look toward the heavens, my love, and you will see me smile, For no matter the distance, I am where you are... No matter the distance, I love you With all of my heart and soul; And no matter the distance, I'll follow you where ever you may go... -Charity L. Thomas June 22, 2004 Written and dedicated to: Christopher K. Thomas; the one who holds my heart and my love in the palm of his hand. I love you, Chris, and may we grow old together in perfect love. -CLT
