Edge of Nowhere


Thoughts are
mysterious sometimes--
but have no fear.
My heart races,
accelerating through Time--
I am here.
I feel I think I be--
I know.
Familiar,
these thoughts of mine.
They haunt my subconscious
and break into my conscious world,
where my heart beats free--
no answers
only the truth.
It stares at me
straight in the eyes
and pierces my soul
whittling away at it
day by day
. till there's nothing left
there...only fragments
Fragments of Me
(who I was).
Your face,
it creeps into my memory--
my thoughts
are with you
My heart,
it.beats.only.for.you--
