Scars
A place now hollow,
Where once was peace and love.
A place echoing unheard cries of pain.
I try to wipe away all my tears,
A river forming at my feet
Sweeping me away into dark nothingness
Because I'm left here all alone
Shivering and alone.
This pain is just too real,
To fly to the moon,
To swim away,
To do anything but stay on this path,
To find anyone but the
Cold company of despair.
My beacons and signs once sturdy and relentless,
Now eroding and drifting away,
Leaving me here with no way to find myself
Out of a storm I’ve created.
Out of pain so complete no end is in sight.
Bite hard to prevent more pain.
Sleep now, dream now,
Drift away into endless wakes of dreams began long ago.
Ripples of love that left lasting scars,
Ignore all but dreams in an endless sleep.
