A found poem written for my wife who is currently on a bit of a downward spiral, I hope and pray that she doesn’t find herself hospitalized again. Marriage can be challenging, marriage to a very unstable person is even more so. And yet here we are, about to celebrate 10 years married. I pray that there is more than 10 more. I wish she was able to find balance in her head, I deal with my own demons and yet God gives me the grace to lay them aside to be her rock.
Darkness will fall on the city It seems to follow you too And though you don't ask for pity There's nothin' that you can do A dark light, a darkness never ending A dark light, the devil gets his due A dark night, is everywhere descending A dark light, is coming for you Though you may be pure of heart and free of sin And though you have been chosen to begin And yet you must be worthy of the prophecy But seek and you shall find your destiny If never I met you I'd never have seen you cry If not for our first "Hello" We'd never have to say goodbye Ooh, remember when you smile so bright Raise my heart up to my throat Ooh, sure took hard times to drag me down So darlin' brighten up all of my hopes You still matter to me And that's the only reason I need to get by You still matter to me, yes you do Everybody's got a reason to live, baby Everybody's got a dream and a hunger inside It hurts so much inside, your telling me goodbye You want to be free And knowin' that you're gone and leavin' me behind I gotta make you see, gotta make you see I gotta make you see That I still love you, I love you I really, I really love you, I still love you Darkness will fall on the city a darkness never ending Though you may be pure of heart and free of sin I'd never have seen you cry Raise my heart up to my throat You still matter to me Everybody's got a reason to live I gotta make you see That I still love you copyrights: 1974, 1976, 1978, 1981, 1987 Artists: KISS & Peter Criss © 2023 Matt “M” Snyder, The Art of M & AProlificPotpourri.Art All Words & Images contained herein cannot be shared or used in any way possible without written consent & notification of the author of this blog

When Mom found out she had Cancer, she wailed "Why me ?" You had no answers to give, although you lessened her pain by subduing her brain yet she suffered for a bit When Dad couldn't fight off infection He gave up You took him quicker than Mom Why didn't Mike or Kyle or Joy live to see 21 Why didn't Glenn or Todd or Jose or Kelly live to see 40 Why are some people mauled or shot or burned or chopped ? Victims of... Serial Killers Gangs Mass shootings/bombings hate crime torture Planes/Trains/Automobile/Boat accidents drowning animal attacks amusement/water park rides disease suicide Why can't we all just die peacefully ? Or Why can't we all be survivors ? I fear the unknown I fear no longer existing As a human being you use emotions and tastes and smells and feelings you figure things out as a spirit you stay behind and haunt ? Or become someone's guardian angel ? I believe in God and an afterlife but isn't both heaven & hell a bit overcrowded ? Or because there is no vessel for the spirit the energy just exists or does it ? I have pondered both death and the thought of no longer existing for decades. Will I be reunited with family in the afterlife or stay with my wife just writing these words brings about a terrifying feeling of unanswered questions questions my therapist suggests should remain as such I shouldn't dwell on the past nor should I fear the future I should live, in the here and now if I ever had a life goal it is that and to be grateful for the life I continue to grow in and find my purpose
