Poem

one day i will laugh
 
lines draw on my face
thin lines like cracks in a cake of mud
though not deep, am carved
my cheeks rise to meet my eyes
as my lips lay thin in the dry greys 
an expression of great amaze

my eyes stare wearily out
in the deep abyss of nothingness 
with a hunger and fear of the unknown 
with the wisdom of the long forgotten
and yet i fail to see time pass me by 
and i'm roused by that thud, a why?

gnarling thoughts creep in my mind
taunting me, crashing to reaction
still I remain 
to adjust to my where am i?
a place defined by alien memories 
and a maze of what if's

i'm met by a resounding silence
that sends shivers up my spine
dries my tongue in my lips
chokes my lungs...I can't breathe
my knees weaken and i know
I want to fall

maybe in my descent I will find peace 
in letting go of that which haunts me
this web that keeps me dangling
holding on to some fallacy 
a lie that soon change will come
that chance will not pass me by

maybe in my fall I will open my eyes 
to see the world not in a dream
nor through the stain coloured glasses
I will see you as you once were
and i will remember how to laugh
yes! someday I will laugh again
