| My World Cold nights without a soul in sight, Walking and talking with walls, Feeling lost in time, trapped Between worlds and lives …lost in a maze Essence of my soul is cast upon Cold and unknown shores, Soft memories becoming Ghosts of fading dreams, Too vague and distant to remember Silence softly descends, striking The chords of sorrow, as I watch The dance of demons past, Time after time the fear of nothingness Creeps in this life’s empty tomb Questioning my sanity in moments Of frustration and confusion, failing to understand, Feeling isolated from the living world, Waiting for a hug, a touch, a word … with wounds exposed Alone I stand in darkness Marking the years of silence With words left unspoken, A fading shadow seeking shelter Walking the lonely road of life Comfortless and cold I run back To the safety of my heart, hiding In its chambers filled with gifts And offerings no one sees or wants, Warm with the music of thoughts left untold Through pouring rain beats a lonely heart Drinking from the cup filled with tears, Awaiting for the light of day In my own little corner of the world |
