Anvil of Darkness

Anvil upon your shoulders
darkness in your heart, bleeding from your soul
and your future is bleak to the eye

Positive thinking only goes so far
One day at a time is too cliche
How many times must you answer the,
“How are you?”’s?

Through all of it,
the next few months of hell
keep in mind just a few thoughts
I hope they help….

Sorry isn’t good enough; but I am
I’m Okay from my lips isn’t trustworthy; but I will be
I love you seems contradictory; But I do
Never again is a lie; but I can promise I’ll try

A few small words won’t ease your pain
Ease your stress or make it better
I can’t lift the anvil or stop the bleeding
but I’ll follow you out of my darkness
