• DAMN !!!!!

  Currently Listening Bridge of Sighs By Robin Trower "In This Place" see related

   

   

  I have a dear friend. One who sometimes hurts. One who hurts like I do some times. There are times when there is no suitable answer for why the pain is what it is..... but it is none the less, maybe more, simply for the hurting of it, and the aloneness One feels during those times. That is a part of why I posted the preceeding post about friends who care enough to think of us. They are my healing, and hope. I wanted to share this. It is from a hurting time, and it says a little about that, or those feelings. The song is one I used to love to stand in front of the crowds and sing .... it told a true story, straight from my heart, though I admit it is not my song, it feels like it was written for me. Anyway sometimes singing the blues lifts the darkness, and leaves a smile. So just to show that those who hurt are not alone....... a song I still enjoy singing, and a piece I wrote that kind of fits with it......

  It seems there are times when life crowds in on us. When the past and the present occupy the same space.  Thoughts, memories blur our vision, and clarity is found only in expressing the culmination of feelings, and strong emotions. I remember a song by Nazareth .... "Love Hurts"   reminiscent of this line of thought. We all deal with tragedy in our own ways...... but deal we must for if we hide it away it always comes back for us.......one way or another, yesterday or 20 years ago. One might say "pay me now....... or pay me later" ..... debts come due

  In this place, filled with empty space.................

  Damn

  Damn the wind,
  and damn the dreams,
  and damn this life of broken things
  damn this heart
  and damn this mind
  damn the love that's left behind
  damn the hurt
  and damn the stain
  damn the memories in my brain
  damn the blood
  and damn the blade
  damn the love I thought we made
  damn the moon
  and damn the sun
  damn this world that's come undone
  damn these ears
  and damn these eyes
  damn the stars that told me lies
  damn the loneliness
  and damn the night
  damn the darkness, nothings right
  damn your touch
  and damn your kiss
  damn I can't take much more of this
  damn it up
  and damn it all
  damn the lover who takes the fall
  damn the beginning
  and damn the end
  and to all that's between, I say damn again
