Nothing Left But a Shell

Nothing Let But A Shell

Tomorrow does not matter
For yesterday never did
My existence was only a dance
Orchestrated by two left feet

Never did anyone notice
When my heart cried out for death
For I never truly was
Not then and not now

May someday the warmth of my touch
The light of my smile
Be at least a distant figment
Of my life which never was

May my spirit catch the wind
And sail up high above
To watch over Forever
Those of whom I loved

In the distance I hear you Kim my baby girl
Saying, Momma please come on home
I love you Mommy, hold me
God wants you here at home.

Totally human faced with the intersection crisscross between the need to go on and the desire to die. Thank you for the comment Sadi
