Forsaken
I place
My head down
Physical sight close
Another eye opens
The duality of my existence
Reaffirmed reaffirmed
Images images
Swirling swirling
Consciousness
Buffeted buffeted
By the enormity
of it all
Faces faces
Places places
And the
Silence silence
Of it all
Oh
What am I to make
Of it all
I try hard
Not to
Feel feel
As this will make me
Reel reel
And it will all become
Real real
And I
Racked with the
Guilt guilt
Full full
Up to the
Hilt hilt
In guilt
For then
Questions questions
Was it my
Actions actions
Or lack of
Reaction reaction
But
Wait wait
Why
Am I am i
Responsible responsible
For the
Echo echo
Of duality
As I am the only one
Awake awake
As everyone
Sleeps sleeps
So i
Explore explore
Ways to
Ignore ignore
But this
Cold hard suit of
Indifference indifference
Doesn’t quit
Fit fit
Frustration
Simmers simmers
Emotions
Leak leak
Attach like a
Leach leach
Oh Father
Why?
Why?
Have you
Forsaken forsaken
