Off Track - a Collaboration With Curtis Davis

I can feel the darkness trying to swallow me whole.
Emotionally I'm a mess, and I feel I'm losing my soul!
The pain just aches causing me to lose consciousness.
So many mistakes and I never thought of the consequences.
I'm absolutely alone, and I'm desperately trying to get back.
A loneliness like I've never known, the day I stepped away from that track!

Being confined has refined the mind to get back on track;
Lack of affection produced a yearning desire, my fire requires freedom!
Hope has kept me inspired, I'm seeking a wounded soul to mold;
One who can hold my thoughts, I may obtain the antidote towards her pain.
If she's out there, then maybe we can ride the train  while we explain;
How to get on the same track of happiness after all the sadness.....


Note: I wrote first stanza.  My brother in this struggle wrote the second 
stanza.  To say "hey" to this fine poet you may write him at:
Curtis Davis, P. O. Box 506, Maura NC  28554
