Standstill

In a spectre of will My thoughts stand still In the cacophony of lies My eyes were never blind In the deceit of the living My ears doubt in believing In the loss of another I will never falter For I think, and I know For I breathe, and still breathing in tow For I see, and my suspicions accurate All caution from what was once immaculate For I feel, and I am now broken In standstill, my soul has been taken Far away; far, far away Away from this plane, my life lingers in disarray.

This poem is written for a project. Honestly, I don't know what it's all about, but reading it after I absentmindedly wrote it gave me this sadness in the form of a tugging feeling in my stomach...
