  • Drifting

    drifting 

    wandering thoughts and images that appear
     of things once held dear
     connections broken, lives lost
     realization of motto: trust no one but self
     rewinding film in my mind
     slowly it plays
     of dreams dissipated, of hopes and fears
     childhood dreams faded in the blink of an eye
     as waves of harsh reality cut like a knife
     innocence lost, stolen, taken
     eyes sharp, pierce like a pin
     angered voices, harsh hands
     fading dreams, hopes, aspirations
     crash to the floor like broken glass
     screams echo across the land
     like the howl of a lone wolf in the distance
     closed lids, sealed with tears
     blankets wrapped as tight as knots
     hello, are you there,
    can you hear me, can't you see
     sounds of my heartbeat echo within my ears
     no answer, no hand to hold,
    no one to comfort, no love embraces me
     alone am I, whence comes my peace
     whispered softly in the confines of my mind
     does it really exist.. do I really exist
     am I alive, or simply drifting by
     long eye lashes flutter like wings of a butterly
     yet again drowned in salty tears
     as I dimly fade
     colorful, charming world of beauty
     only in my world of dreams..
