THE UNKNOWN DARKNESS


The Unknown Darkness /Dark Angel

I'm tired of dreaming and empty promises 
I think I shall never see brighter days; 
I'm through with trying. 
I am so tired of your lying and your cheating ways, 
The moonlight that once shined in my eyes have died 
In the darkness you give, 
I'm tired of living, yet scared of dying. 
Crying is my friend when our love did a worldwide, 
Maybe things are crazy , but look at all that I've been through. 
Look at all the pain I've won. 
Against the earth sweet flowing of love of long ago you once held my soul, 
I bet you think that it's been fun sending my heart on the run, 
You never thought I'd turn away. 
You never believed you'd see this day. 
A tree that looks up at heaven all day, 
And lifts her leafy arms to pray; leaving behind all I know. 
Changing it all as I must go and grow like the tree that its roots dig deep, 
Faint hands will row your outward appearance 
But the inwards will grow with faith of love 
Knowledge of love open my eyes, 
I left behind the love of my life, 
That killed my heart with the heat of the night
Let me live, unseen, unknown; 
Let me die with love in my heart for Jehovah God
And let me live the way of faith without hate, 
Winter fire is now a summer desire.

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the80's, 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery / Judy Emery
