Forever Missing
Forgotten…
absent from all things considered beautiful.
I was a wanderer LOST
in the darkness of night,
a gypsy to the world yet
b l i n d e d by hell’s light-
I needed days of remorse
to bring me clarity,
for life is NOT good to me,
no hope with charity.
Inside the d a r k n e s s I
found my blind sight,
and in the midst of being
WRONG…I was right.
T r u t h became my torch
to be one with the confused,
no matter how hard I tried,
I always seemed to LOSE-
Never to be found, seeking
from heaven to the ground,
no distance too wide, with
no one to keep me homebound.
Which path do I take?
Which j o u r n e y do I choose?
oh, just to be established,
I always seemed to REFUSE.
Inside my cave, I’d gone missing
without being d i s c o v e r e d ,
for I DEPARTED from life,
forfeited my only lover-
Held captive by a fate of loss
I flared my ignited flame,
never to belong again,
full of BLAME and SHAME.
I needed days of origination,
as my e x t i n c t i o n hovered,
once shielded by happiness,
now my insanity is uncovered.
I stand by my sill and
feel the Winter frost,
for I am heartbroken again,
my soul has paid the cost-
I need not things of material,
just pure h o p e;
I am GONE forever,
without a way to cope.
Out the window,
my resolution has been tossed-
For o b l i v i o n has prevailed...
I am eroded and LOST.
