Comfort

You said you would care for me
Spend your life with me
You would please me
Make me feel good
You comforted me.

When my beauty fades
The passion fades
You said you would soothe me
And never leave me
That comforts me

When I screamed out your name
in the middle of the night
angry you didn’t
spend your life with me
stop caring for me
It didn’t comfort me.

When the alcohol ran out
The drugs had no affect
Face down on the floor
Finally passed out
my dreaming stopped
Only to become nightmares
in the night
Induced comfort.

When the demons hunting my dreams
Start touching me all over
I search for relief in arms of strangers.
Looking for comfort, that only turned cold
In the process, like a stone
Poor comfort


You weren’t there,
When I fell on my knees, pleading
When god forsakes me, doesn’t listen to my prays
You weren’t there to help,
when I screamed in the night
at the lack of peace.
Absent comfort

You didn’t care for me,
Didn’t spend your life with me
Choose instead to take from me
My youth, my body, my mind
You were
No comfort
