Whisper Softly

Change

Alone I sit

Nocturnal Fear

From Now On

Whisper Softly

by Sheri Foreman

 

 

Whisper softly tell me it's alright, hold my hand, stand by me, wake me up,

 

Tell me it's a dream hold my hand, walk with me, shower my body with

 

Soft gentle kisses, send me an angel to answer my wishes

 

Show me that smile that makes my heart glad, wipe away the tears that make my heart sad.

 

Show me the love that I once used to know, show me the love that I have needed so,

Lie down beside me, let me feel your warmth, Give me your undying support.

Lie down beside me, in the pale moonlight. Lie down beside me, hold me through the night.

Change

by Sheri Foreman

 

 

I want to change myself from the inside out

 

I had a good heart

 

He said we'd never part

 

Together forever

 

But forever came to soon

 

What about the sun, the stars, the moon?

 

The times we had were so terrific

 

It's not a wonder why I already miss it

 

He said he'd never leave me

 

We were fake and now I'll wake up and ache

Alone I sit

by Sheri Foreman

 

In deafening silence

 

Pondering my past

 

Realizing my fears

 

It has come to pass

 

Wasted years and salty tears

 

Have made me what I am today

 

An unspoken honesty when there was nothing to say

 

A light in the dark when I lost my way

 

Precious innocents carved in stone

 

A broken trust-Now I am alone

Nocturnal Fear

 

by Sheri Foreman

 

Sunset as dusk falls deep upon me

 

While memories of yesterday haunts

 

Sitting in silence alone with my thoughts

 

Wondering what the night will hold

 

What began with beautiful skies of azure

 

Now becomes murky, dismal gray

 

Darkness engulfs me as I gasp to breathe

 

My nocturnal fear takes over

 

While I pray for the dawn ahead

 

Paranoia sets in as I wrestle with my imagination

 

Shadows dance on the wall as my inner fears come to life

 

What started out as childhood phobia

 

Is now harsh reality, mocking me relentlessly

 

I rush to beat father time, and meet the sandman

 

Hoping to escape the terror of the evening abyss

 

As twilight burns amber I fall fast asleep in nights early slumber

From Now On

by Sheri Foreman

 

From now on I see in a different light

 

From now on I guess I'll be alright

 

I spend my time chasing ghosts of yesterday

 

I find that I am lost for words to say

 

You may think that I have left you in the rain

 

But I've been there too

 

In fact, I am soaking wet
