I Am Frank

Words follow me like shadows
Forming visions of pain, freedom and dreams
Never achieved, and as the sun rises 
Shadows dissolve
Like acid on an ignorant tongue 
Bliss now no longer eludes me 
But the pain lingers, the heart beats faster in mind
But slower in reality, and I live no more
I just exist to no purpose
Weeping and forming seas casting reflections of the unknown.
