Fading

I sit within the ruins
Of a mind
Struggling
Lost in endlessly dark
Synaptic alleys
Reaching
For an unseen face
An unknown word
A fading
Me.

You've still got it, John, sometimes we just feel lost. Don't give up, keep writing; you'll find your path. Great title and good verse to go with it. Bill

A nightmare for anyone. This poem is proof that you are still a brilliant talent.
