Mourning Song - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

I wrote this in the midst of reconciling some memories last night. It's always better to walk in truth and reality than in a fantasyland...

Mourning Song

O Nightingale, Nightingale
Song-singer of the night
Your sweet melodyâ€™s needed
To make peace of this plight

My memories are crumbling
Theyâ€™re not what they seemed
Lightâ€™s turning to darkness
Can this be redeemed?

A sledge to this one
A scream as it crashes
Tears racing down cheeks
Dripping off of eyelashes

O Nightingale, Nightingale
I need you to stay
Your song is now needed
As I kneel down to pray

How much was truth
And what was deceit?
This leaving denial
Will be quite a feat

But leave it I must
If I'm to move on
For all of these years
Could I â€˜ave been so wrong?

O Nightingale, Nightingale
Song-singer of the night
Your sweet melody carries
This pain out of sight

very nice, Nightingale. I like it. Reminds me of a Shakespearian Hope Springeth Eternal passage.

there is no deceit only reality, and no denial till you realize it, ya think, im crying too anyway. i wish someone would close my eyes so I could see again. How much joy there is when I forget to the lullaby of beauty and Gods touch. I want to keep it so bad but I also cant live without truth, I cant find it either which means im sort of dead.
