Fading Away

My heart is bruised,  
Words unspoken  
Thoughts restrained, confused 
Under lock and key, unopened 
I pry with eager eyes  
Running through corridors 
With a flashlight soon to die 
Vacant, bolted doors 
Hallways of shredded dreams 
Racing within secluded depths 
With no sense of direction  
Chasing opaque thoughts 
That which lays within a layer of dust 
Racing a million miles a second 
Of hopes veneered in rust, 
And suddenly, All is dark 
I don't know who I am 
Im lost within  
A lonely embarkment of vacancies, 
Forever in eternity
