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
