I Lost Myself Today
I lost myself today.
Walking home I lost my way.
Lost in thought, my mind all gray,
like dots in patterns of senseless moire,
I've faded away.
My feelings died today.
Emotional turmoil gone astray,
once vividly painted, now, dull clay,
colorless, lifeless and dark in dismay.
Spirit broken as passions flay.
My heart broke today.
The love it had has drained away
like shards of crystal on stone parquet
shattered to pieces in my emotional fray,
left bleeding and broken in dismay.
The world stopped today.
Spinning slowly, the time fading away
loosing the fight in this ethereal display.
The daylight goes dark with each fading ray,
eternally black in lights decay.
My words won't come today.
Just worn out dribble and tired cliche,
cloudy, my thoughts are complete disarray
with meaningless babble and nothing to say,
so lost without my words today.
