Moments of Reflection

Time Creeping along with a monotonous drone Days to weeks to months to years The world has changed Moved on Evolved Yet Alone I stand in my familiar agony Here to stay to wait for you My world holds fast Standing still Stagnant Phones Their constant ringing emptier by the day They taunt and tease and call to me My hands wont stop Quivering, trembling Nervous You were mine once The lone oasis of love and comfort Amidst the deserts of my discontent The lush and vibrant paradise Among the barren wastelands of my solitude Now you are gone My hopes and dreams bashed upon the shores of rejection Splintered like the oaken hulls of ancient vessels My peace and love consumed in volcanic fury Spewed forth in fiery blasts of anger and mistrust Beds I have made mine now I must lie in it A place to rest to sleep to love To dream Alone
