I Sit Here Wishing

Patrice Clarkson's Blog

I sit here wishing
What is
Could not be.

Hoping life
Would be a little gentler
Take pity on me.

Trusting it
Will get better
So all can be happy.

Doesn’t matter what I wish
Cause life is
What it will be.

Hold Me Close, Hold Me Tight

Hold me close, hold me tight 
thru the long day
into the darkest
darkest night. 

Let no one come to harm 
me or mine 
let the world turn quietly 
without any
any crime. 

This I pray, this I wish 
that you hold me close 
hold me tight
with all your gentle
gentle might.

Why has it happened
Where will I be
When oh when will it move on
To the past so far behind me?

Answers I don’t have
Answers I wish someone
Would share with me.

My Choice To Make It

Feel my world change
For the better or the worse
My choice to make it
As I wish
The world doesn’t care
You see
Its moving as it should
It’s my choice to make it
The best, even better
Than a passing good.

Memories

Memories are with me
I wish had died

Memories of an existance
I think of and cry

No memories of happiness
Or pleasure survive

Remember memories
That took me out

Of the memories
That just make me sigh

Memories, my memories
That make me cry.

Heartbreak Takes The Mind

 

Heartbreak takes the mind
To places I wish I could decline
But instead I tread an uneven path
Cursing heartbreak all the way
Not understanding
This will change tomorrow
To be a happier place than all today.
