Screaming at the Darkness
Preference:
It is funny how you can be someone’s rock when they are down and needy. You lend an ear to their problems and their woes to bring them comfort. As soon as you show them how you feel they can't handle it and hang up on you. Not once but 3 times. What does that mean to you? I know what it means to me for it is self-evident. I can be a shoulder to cry on but as I feel it as well I comfort myself for gone are my shoulders to rely.
What are friends?
Do you know? I think I do now. The greatest thing is to know for what you don't know, you just don't know.
Screaming at the Darkness
Written by Wilfred Charles Mellers, Friday, May 22,2009
Gone now the blue bird of happiness
Drowning now fills my world with sadness
Crazy thoughts fill my brain
Void now the blue skies to feel the pain
Four walls comforts me not
Loneliness is all I’ve got
The silence rain monsoons and hurricanes
Lost the soldier from migraines
Love fought the foolish campaign
Petrol filled with no octane
Try and try renders the same results
Screaming from far into the shadows insults
Wondering aimlessly in the dark
Striking flint that won’t spark
Feeling my way for I lost my eyesight
Here comes the rain for lack of foresight
Submerged in tears not of my making
Old are my bones arthritic and acing
Left with nothing more than memories
No happy endings to romantic comedies
Sadness walks quietly shadows hand in hand
Flavors once so sweet now taste bland
Heartache in my doorway stands
Celibacy was never considered as part of the plans
Desperately trying to hold back the flood of pain
Drenched and batter soaked through from the rain
Perspective lost for this is totally insane
Wondered and got lost down lover’s lane
Waiting silently in darken places
Avoidance from all public spaces
Sounded the horns of retreat
Discomfort swollen trench are now my feet
Sleeping life away waiting for brighter days gone bye
Cometh the dawn the same way feelings die
Day after day nothing ever changes
Into the void happiness now plunges
Lacking all identity seeking now serenity
Existence now lack all its amenities for nothing is left but hostilities
Worn-out from a long and drawn out trench warfare’s
Happiness now blooded passes away and no one even cares

In this house of pain
In this house of pain
We’re nothing but slaves
Giving into such desires
Will it bring us any pleasure?
Weeping for a lover lost
She’ll cast her own spell
Deprived by all
Depleting the life of everyone that has betrayed her
Hidden in the shadows is where she will feel alive
In this house
Is nothing but sinners?
In this house
Is nothing but broken promises?
In this house
Is where you left me for dead?
Walking through the fogged trees
Blind to all
The songs of old
Are here for the comfort of all.
Beneath the garden of secrets
Hides a lonely heart
Calling to her lover
From which she had to part.
I am alone again.
Alone with my thoughts
That I am left to ponder upon
I am alone again.
This sadness is overwhelming
And all I can do is give in
Does my heart still beat the same?
Or does it die along with you
These thoughts seem to keep me sane
Yet I’m still waiting for more
These memories seem to play a game
And in the end
I’m here to give in
In this house
Is nothing but heartache?
In this house
Is nothing but tears?
In this house
Is where you left me broken?
The feelings seem to fade
The laughter was lost long ago
But I would give everything up
Just to have it all back
In this house
Was when I first fell in love with you?
In this house is were I gave my heart to you
In this house was where i was lost to you.
This will be our doing
This will be our destruction
Swept up in such blissful dreams
Scarcely unaware
This is the house
Were we will rot forever?

Surprisingly Alive
Happiness is gone, it disappeared
It played me for years making me feel I deserved it
It was positive, and left me an optimist
I saw life through different eyes with happiness
It made me see what cannot be seen
It made me feel feelings I had not bothered to explore
I felt free beneath it's control
I felt invincible in it's arms
Happiness was my everything, it was my soul
It was what kept me moving forward
It was what made me want to live, to breath, to be
Then one day it left, it walked out on me
It left nothing behind but memories I could not have again
It walked out and never looked back
It walked out on me when I needed it the most
It pretended like nothing ever happened between us
Happiness kicked me towards sadness, it shoved me towards it
Then it left after it saw what happened
It got weak and left me alone
It left me crying behind the door
It left me bleeding on the bathroom floor
It left me wishing I had never lived
It left me screaming into my pillow in pain with sadness
It left me walking aimlessly at night with tears crawling down my face
It left me with the words 'I give up' floating above my head
It left me imagining what death would taste like
It left me cold, scared, hopeless, alone
It left...

Lost In Numbness
Lost in numbness for years
Running from pain
Trapped in the freezing rain
Constantly numb
Pain is better than nothing at all
Pain without reason, a cause, or even love,
Is better than being all numb
Trapped in a world of numbness without a reason
Show me a world I understand
Pain is all that I have known
No longer able feel anything but pain
Life is filled with pain
Pain is now a comfort
The only thing I can count on
The one thing I understand
It is all I have
All I feel
For my life is filled with pain
Pain is all there is left
When happiness doesn’t work

Sorry For The Day
Sorry For The Day
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers, Tuesday, December 22,2009 @ 10: 24 AM
When I am up someone always brings me right back down
Sorrow and emptiness all around can be found in the happiest town
When I feel joy that’s when the pain starts
There’s another day filled with broken hearts
I never enjoy myself for it will never last
Stuck here more in the never-ending past
I could be happy if the world let me be
No room for joy or happiness for me
When I am away that's when it starts
Another day filled with more broken hearts
When I’m away it all falls apart
Discontented peddlers wares in my pushcart
Heartbreak greets daily has it becomes my sweetheart
My symphony blue composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Deaf to the world jotting voiceless sound composed Ludwig van Beethoven
Roasted to a crisp my dessert notes in my spoiled oven
Why does misery follows me around
It tracks me down like a bloodhound
Like the wind I ride as a greyhound
I understand it not, I am dumbfound
Thoughts ponder I so profound
Down-trodden I through this earth wondering I trod west to eastbound
Through yonder woods and valleys I flee as the foxhound do
For reasons unbenounced to me brought to foreground too
Gray skies followed by a darken storm cloud
Screaming silently whispered no words loud
Truth is that my joy cannot be found
So I sit now motionless and quietly without making a sound

Gone Is The Light
Every day I wake in my lonely bed
How I wish that I was dead
No more left to be said
A great burden I carry on my head
All I do is question why
No longer pointing my head to the sky
No more wind is in my sail
Nothing more I can fail
I have lost my only friend
In love I fall never again
It is sad but yet so true
Nothing left for me to do
Into the night I'll fade away
For me there's just no more day
All is left is the night
Gone tomorrow the sun light
Darkness surrounds everywhere
Gray are my skies since she's not here
Turned his back no longer I sleep
For my soul no one will keep
As winter’s chill cometh the dawn
Lost all my senses since she’s gone
The darkness cry’s out my name
Hard I find to live down the shame
No longer can I conceal my sorrow
Why must there be a tomorrow
No more comes a brighter day
It just won’t seem to go away
This is a first for me to be alone
I've never been on my own
Gone are the days of my happiness
All is left is pure sadness
No one left to kiss and caress
No longer do I have someone to impress
The darkness I now embrace
For I have fallen on my face
No more to rise it’s the end
For I’ve lost my best friend
That voice I no longer hear
For she’s no longer here

Tell me why
Why do I cry?
Why do people lie?
Why are these scars on my wrists?
Why can't me and happiness coexist?
I don't know what to do!
It's always goodbye, right when I say hello.
I can't stand it anymore!
It seem as though happiness has become folklore.
I'm so alone.
I can't do it on my own.
Please help me!
Hear my desperate plea!
I'm drowning in my pain.
My screaming is lost in the rain.
I fall to my knees
And I yell out, SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE! !
I just want to know why I feel this way
Each and every day.
Please, I'm begging you.
Do whatever you can do
To end my pain and misery.
Please, set me free.
The tears are streaming,
As the ones I love are leaving
Please.
Help me.

Feelings-07
Sadness is like being lost
Happiness is like nothing can go wrong
Music is like a summer day
Paris Hilton is an old forgotten dog
Excitement is overrated happiness
Boredom is what i feel everyday
Depression can be like a reflection of my life
Joy is a rare feeling i get when i feel loved
Pain is the hurt and sorrow you put me through
Misery is like having no one to stand beside you
Sadness is like being lost
Happiness is like nothing can go wrong

Few Minutes in the Dark
A few minutes in the dark.
What kind of dark?
No light shining?
Depression?
A reality check?
A few minutes in the dark can change you.
Change you how?
Change your outlook of life?
Change your personality?
Cause you to sin?
A few minutes in the dark is dangerous.
How is it dangerous?
Swallow you up in fear.
Never feel happiness.
No more friends.
No more family.
No more love.
No more life.
No more light.
A few minutes in the dark is scary.
You see the evil in the world with no light.
You lose your light for a few minutes and soul dies.
You lose a person, a loved one, every single second.
You lose sight of them and they're gone forever.
A few minutes in the dark and you cant see anything.
No more things that coused you joy or filled with love.
A few minutes in the dark.
It takes only 30 seconds for a child to be kidnapped.
Then after that, they fall to the darkness.
Soul burned out, and love gone.
Another life fallen to the darkness.
A few minutes in the dark.
When you left the light, there is no turning back.
A few minutes in the dark, and you lose sight.
Lose sight of the light.
See what happens in the dark?
A few minutes in the dark.
Causes death.
A breakup between lovers and one points a gun to their head.
A few minutes in the dark and you die.
The light will be sealed from you along memories.
Memories of light and love.
The two things the dark can never have.
Light and love.
A few minutes in the dark.
And you cant remember your friends.
Did you even have friends?
A few minutes in the dark can change your way of thinking.
Reminding you of death at every corner.
You wander forever not ever finding the light.
A few minutes in the dark will change you forever.
Happiness always has its sadness.
Sadness always has its happiness.
Where there is life, there is death waiting around the corner.
Where there is death, there is life some where waiting.
Death is darkness.
You cant find your light if you cant handle a few minutes in the dark.
And maybe people are still stuck in the dark and we dont notice.
Reach your hand out and show them the light.
Everyone around us may look happy but they dont see the light.
A few minutes in the dark is a very sad place to be in.
Your blinded and confused.
you dont feel love and people all around us will always be in the dark,
waiting for a friend to pull them out.
There will be better days

Sleeping Through The Rain
Happiness
Is an interesting concept
That is only half real
Mostly an illusion
If happiness
Is like sleeping
Then fear
Is what wakes us up
And brings us back
From our perfect dream-land
Sadness
Is like rain
You feel cold and alone
And a little bit lost
But it goes away in the end
Determination
Keeps us going
Through thick and thin and everything else
For without it
There is only sleeping through the rain
And being woken up by fear
Calm
Is the blankets around our happiness,
The roof to keep out the rain
The tiredness that keeps fear
From awakening us
Calm
Surrounds our souls
And keeps the peace
And makes good days
Easy
And bad days
Better
And life alive
And together
With all the people on Earth
We get through each day
Minute by minute
Second by second
Until our time is up
And what have we worked for?
The illusion of happiness
The blanket of calm
The pouring rain of sadness
The waking of fear
And the determination of everything
And if that isn't good enough
Then surely nothing is real
Except the sound of
Ticking clocks
Marking the life of
Reality

My Soul Mate
My Soul Mate
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers, Saturday, November 19,2011 @ 1: 31 PM
My distress overwhelms me
Seeking contentment yet not finding any
Great is the void right now in my existence
Happier days are putting up a resistance
Peace of mind I find seldom
Waiting on a day that may never come
Sweet the memories of true winsome
Reflections inspiriting I do welcome
From isolation the body goes into seizure
For all things great or small needs closure
All things now feel of displeasure
A life no more of simple leisure
I feel so adrift without you
Now there’s nothing I can do
Dreams modest won’t come true
My glee passes in review
I can’t seem to get you off my mind
What I feel cannot be defined
To others I am sincerely blind
From this destiny I am now resigned
Hearing your voice brings so much gladness
It chases away all my sadness
Trying my best from not shedding a tear
When I see you everything becomes clear
Signing off I start to brood
Elation turns to a bitter mood
Feeling regret for the times we argued
For this heart you’ve truly slued
Lonely is the soul that waits
Thoughts in the mind vibrates
Lingering on a distinctive date
For I So long for my soul mate

Autumn Rain
While I sit here and ponder
I don’t see I’m drowning in my pain,
I was blinded by the sorrow
My tears have left a pool and a stain,
My heart was left broken
My mind was in a darkened haze
I’m sitting here dwelling in my final phase
Far away from my glory days
Ingrained in my mind
Are deep memories of pain,
The days of yesteryear bridges never fade away
A painful tragedy like thunder in my veins
But never are they washed away by the rain,
They embody me and so are here to stay
I lost myself so long ago
There’s no one I can blame
Autumn rain falls on me with
An eternal sunrise that never climbs
Autumn rain coming down
Another shattered soul in the lost and found
I feel I’m vanishing, vanishing gone
In autumn rain
I feel I’m vanishing, vanishing gone
In autumn rain

Seansons When
A shadow loomed on my sill so blue
Through my window my bird flew
Filling my heart with such sadness
Gone sweet bird of happiness
Franticly seeking calling it back
Searching in every corner and ever crack
Sought refuge in other places
Dormant lies now my heart in stasis
My bird no longer sings me love songs
On foreign shore it now belongs
So desperately I tried
Long through the night I cried
My bird now is set free
Its voice no longer calls me
My head no longer filled with rage
It was I the one that kept it in a cage
True love was all that I had sought
I made mistakes for that’s how I was taught
Bleeding heart knows no cure
The love of my life loves me no more
My blue bird one day will nest a new
For that there is nothing I can do
With flock ling’s now domesticated
Off lings forever we are related
Days gone now by and by
Recouping I have tried
Lost all but not my footing
On my feet for I am still standing
Bittersweet sorrows lessons to learn
Burdens filled now it’s my turn
Seasons when yellow leafs fell of my tree
Gone forever now so shall it be

Moonlight Rain
Sitting in the the moonlight rain.
My life is headed down the drain.
You called and said your love for me is broke and dead.
Now I sit in moonlight rain.
A gun held tight to blow my brains.
No where to go, no where to hide.
From the pain I feel inside.
Drowing in this moonlight rain.
Shall I ever feel the sun again?
The days we had, the days we knew.
Now are cast in rain soaked blue.
Moonlight rain has dowsed the flame.
Of a once true filled love with shame.
Eternal night now fills the void,
endless sorrow no room for joy.

Sometimes I Feel
Sometimes I feel as if I am falling.
Sometimes I feel as if the world around me never stops spinning
Sometimes I feel like giving up and letting everything go
Sometimes I feel like a puppet in a show
Sometimes I feel like I should just scream
Sometimes I feel like life is nothing but a dream
Sometimes I feel as if I’m only fake
Sometimes I feel like even when I sleep I’m still awake
The dream the seems to hold me ever so tight
Being in the ever so warm sunlight
All the many things I seem to see
Can this be it, can this be the real me?
The darkness seems to fade away
I’m left shocked with nothing to say
Sometimes I feel as if I will never understand
Sometimes I feel as someone is holding my hand
Sometimes I feel completely crazy
Sometimes I feel ever so lazy
Sometimes I feel as if I lost it all
Sometimes I feel like they let me fall
Sometimes I feel as if I did so wrong
Sometimes I feel ever so strong
I know now that people really do care
I also know life isn’t always fair
There will always be so memories in my heart
Even if some seem to rip it apart
Love doesn’t always have to lead to hate
I know that I can make things better its not to late
Sometime I feel like I should just hide
Sometimes I feel to afraid to take a step outside
Sometimes I feel like just getting up to sing
Sometimes I feel like I can do anything
Sometimes I feel as all anyone can do is lie
Sometimes I feel ever so shy
Sometimes I feel happy and sad
Sometimes I feel ever so mad
I love playing in the rain
I can be strong but yet In a lot of pain
I’m not perfect nor do I want to be
I am content just being me

Stand in The Rain
She stands bellow the tree,
As she looks out towards the sea.
Her eyes see the blue, yet her mind is lost,
It has left her on it's journey remembering what it lost.
The breeze blows though her dark crimson hair,
And still she does not blink, she only stares.
She stares though nothing only seeing pain,
The pain that has left her standing in the rain.
The rain falls around her on the sea,
Yet still she stands under the tree,
It will not leave her, it will not go,
What she has seen will never go,
She will always remain alone,
She remains in the wind as it moans,
She feels movement of the air,
Yet she does not hear it, she does not fear,
Se fears not the storm, only the pain,
She stands by the side of the sea, stands in the rain.
She stands here, still,
As the pain begons to kill.
She stands and looks past her heart through the pain,
As she stands in the rain.

Time To Die
And I have seen wonders
And I have seen miracles
Oh, I have seen some things
Its all lost to me now
Like tears in the rain
And I have seen sadness
And I have seen time run out
Ive even seen men cry
Its all lost to me now
Like tears in the rain
And my memories
I cant give them away
So its easy
Like a long long sleep
Im so tired
Now its my time to die
Welcome home
Welcome home
No exhibition
No screaming war songs
No conversation
No more opinions here
And I have seen new wars
And I have seen things
That you wouldnt believe
And I have seen my days
Its all lost to me now
Like tears in the rain

Rain! Rain! Come Today!
Showers of blessing!
I thought seeing the rain.
Some feel depressed,
Some feel sad,
But for me it seems to wash my sadness!
A cycle ride in the rain;
Brings such joy to the soul;
Drenched in the chill of the rain,
Makes me forget all my pain.
When the sun appears
With the rain as its veil,
Spreading a ray of happiness,
With a rainbow as a smile!
It creates an irresistable awe!
A scene that can make any one happy.
Oh, How I wish it rains often!
Just to feel happy for no reason.

Sacred Utterance Of A Fool
Sacred Utterances Of A Fool
Written by Wilfred C. Mellers Tuesday, August 12,2008
Sitting here feeling down wishing myself out of existence
Thinking nonsense heavily weighs on my mind
Heading nowhere like my life in the fast lane
In the head I suppose I am not a well person
From the bosom feeling hearts ripped
Lacking in purpose an empty shell I now am
Lost in sorrow misery dwells
Absolute zero goes on at times I fancy not well
To you I have written down sad but true my lexicon
With miniature populace I exist in a diminutive world
Maybe if I just slumber, yes for a breather I take
Restlessly it all vanishes in forty winks perhaps
Once it's all gone bye the feelings remembered
I shall then put to pen and inscribe it again
Sadness turns to madness I think too much
The Sun now sets on reality worshiped by a quirk of fate
I have lost you my dear, like so many before
To wonder this perilous land only I am doomed
Bringing forth twilight of my true contentment sought never ponder I
Happiest lying in your arms that brought forth warmness I quest
Redemption I found comforted by what I considered your love
Lost and waiting deliverance sought in my grief
Passive persuasion idiom used unsuccessfully
Carved away truth in ones own perspective
Invisible I stand to the masses passing bye
Reaching out to touch liquid beings through fingertips
Porous my hands that can never hold another
Etherized I lay on gurney not kind
Stride in my shoes and sing the blues
Travel the path I have taken
Sour to highs never taken
A flightless bird with no wings sings

Why Do I Write
I write from my sadness
I write from the madness
I write because I have something to say
I write to pass the day
I write only from the heart
I write for sometimes I am not that smart
Whatever is in head just comes out on paper (in this case a word document) , and I go with the flow
Write to let my mind go
I follow my hand to where ever it takes me
I write all the things that I can see
I write when I am happy, but not as much
I write from my heart that you can touch
I write because I’d go insane
I am driven to write quell my pain
At times I feel alone so I write what I am feeling
I write for it is self-healing
Confident not so I write it all away
I write and write to pass the day
I write to comfort my soul that cries out in the night
I write for love is always out of sight
I write so I don't have to cry any more
I write for I have no one to adore
I write so someone somewhere will hear my plea
I write for someone is out there for me
I am lost and I the clown
I write to turn my frown upside down
I write to embrace the sadness I hide inside
I write with my heart opened wide
I write to silence the ghost
I write for I’ve been let down by the one I loved the most
I write through the stormy weather
I write for I am light as a feather
I am not a writer nor am I a poet
I write for the grief I do know it
I will write until I draw my last breath
I write because I'll die a lonely death
I have to write for strangers delight
I write because I have to write
I write for my own happiness
I write to relieve my stress
I write because I have no other choice
I write as if I was writing a letter
I write because I can’t do any better
I write because I am afraid not to
I write for this is what I do
I write for I give a damn
I write just because I am

How I Will Miss Her Much
How I Will Miss Her Much
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, October 25,2009
The girl that I adore
She loves me no more
She said she could love no other
Now she’s run off with another
God please tell me why
Who will dry the tears I cry
The odds we could not defy
Feel like I could lie down and die
Now here comes the rain
I can’t stand all the pain
Feels like I am going insane
For my life seems down the drain
Logic tells me I have to let you go
But God knows I love you so
Feel like I should just stop trying
But in my heart there’s no denying
Drawn to you like magnet to steel
Heartache is now what I feel
Life now seems so surreal
This time the hurt will never heal
The girl that I so adore
I know she loves me no more
She said she could love no other
Ripped and run off now with another
Now my world is falling apart
How could she break my heart?
All others I placed her above
I was a fool to ever fall back in love
Now I can’t escape the pain
A fool to fall in love again
Nothing ventured nothing gained
For her I could have never maintained
Her affections I am still vying
Though I know I should stop trying
She sends my heart still flying
Now my eyes need some drying
How I hate those sad goodbyes
No songs of sad lullabies
Interludes no longer gratify
Whispered words once an outcry
Sweeter she was more than honey
Every word she spoke seemed so funny
She made my days so bright and sunny
I Elmer Fudd and she bug’s bunny
She use to fill my heart with glee
Gone now she is away from me
She was all that I could see
Now so shall it ever be
She remains a beautiful sight
Seldom days pass by lonely candlelight
Gone now are the tender touch
How I will miss her so much
