Homeless

Violets in twilight
roses at midnight
danger in respite
and dying to live life
silent in delight
broken yet unchanged
feeling your heart sink
down in your ribcage
unwilling and misplaced
struggling through distaste 
hoping for freedom
yet watching your life fade
the truth is these days
we are all afraid
always waiting for the decision
when our own minds are made.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
