First moment confusion spoken from your mouth |
Staring into nothingness The emptiness wraps itself around me Everything dark Everything cold Nothing but a blur that I gaze on The view of an unborn child Grey; nothing simple Nothing straight, everything merged Blinded, I start running in circles Running faster but still the same route No destination, just a dead end No place to escape, no hand to hold I sit here, Gazing at this page Words mingled, scrambled Nothing making sense A cold and lifeless trail Is drawn down the side of my cheek A tear of fear, sorrow and anger The shoving of shattered glass upon my heart Cause my lifeless hands to quiver Forgetting the present, the future, Focusing on the past For in the past nothing ever blurred When one is mindless, one cannot see the obvious With the passing of years, the opening of eyes The obvious stood up and stared As the finger of the clock paced on I was drawn into shadows Could no longer stand No sunlight in sight The last breath taken away With nothing but a shattered breast With a hand lowering to my face And the sight of the eyes that gave me hope I made the choice to carry on and retrieve what is mine …my heart |
