Me

Sleepless
Nights
Drifting
In and
Out
and
I realize
that

I've
Lost myself
Inside
This house

My
home
with
Glass walls
and
darkened windows
Ne'er letting the light in
Trying
to
find
an escape

and

In
This dreamlike
State
I
find myself walking
Through the halls
I once knew
My
feet
Throb from
the tingling sensation of
numbness that only
the
Cold Glass floor can bring

My
Nightdress
ghost like in appearence
flutters
in
the
wind
as
glacial temperatures
drop
and
My
breath
becoming visible
like tufts of
Clouds

Eerie
it seems
that no one can
hear my cries
and
the
walls
White
as
Angel Wings
Glow
in the Darkness of
the
midst of
this
confusion

And
TIME
SEEMS

To
  Crawl

To
CRAWL


TO
 CRAWL


Drowsily
I
continue
my
quest

Almost
Methodical
In my Deliberation
To
seek
out
the mythical creature
that once was
Laura

Amidst
the moment before I was.... something... something to behold
FULL
of
FEROCITY and LIFE

and Now
Shivering
in the dark of night
in
my neglicee

Spellbound

Searching

for who I have become

chasing
the bunny through the rabbit hole

peering around the corner

only
to
have
gotten
Lost

further

in
this maze

Glass Houses were meant to be brought down

yes many women wifes and mothers feel this way. I wrote Preciuos Fare to my ex he didn't get it. Light & Love...the tumble of words added to the Alice like fall ;)
