Sarah Loftin Poet I do not know?

Hide

Running out of time 

running out of breath

watching time pass by

completely scared to death

finally start to realize 

the reasons for it all

you never reached your potential

but now youve come to fall

i see you standing at the foot

of the ladder of faith

and on your face i see that look of distraught  and no peace

you shall come to realize 

the meaning of it all

you posess the strength required

to overcome this call

a call into darkness

it wants a hold of you

and i see you strugle

as you reach the crossroads of what to do

but its only in the darkness

that light can shine through

looking up at the stars

counting them aloud

trying to visualize a face

of someone youve made proud

i look into your eyes

and scream into your heart

we stand on broken ground

from the earthquake that broke this world apart

i guess you never found a star

that you could call your own

'cause you lock your door 

and cry all alone

unlock the door

let me in this place

all thats hung on the walls 

are pictures of shame an disgrace

let me in to rip the frames apart

and throw them into the fireplace 

that burns in your heart

deep in your eyes, i see the fire that glows

and yet you are so cold and alone

a friends presence; something youve never known

no one to give a shoulder when you cry

no family or friends really care

no one has loved you as time passed by

so you stay behind those locked doors 

crying all alone

but i stand at your window 

bidding for you to come home

grant it, that you should open the window a hair

i shall come in,

a letter; ill be thier

ill give you kind words

thats what you ask

ill be your key

to free you from it all

thats all you need is freedom

from the things that tie you down...

but pitty will not make a sound.
