Eilis Philipps Poet I do not know?

Standstill

In a spectre of will
My thoughts stand still

In the cacophony of lies
My eyes were never blind

In the deceit of the living
My ears doubt in believing

In the loss of another
I will never falter

For I think, and I know
For I breathe, and still breathing in tow

For I see, and my suspicions accurate 
All caution from what was once immaculate

For I feel, and I am now broken
In standstill, my soul has been taken

Far away; far, far away
Away from this plane, my life lingers in disarray.

Eilis Philipps August 31, 2015 at 2:57 AM This poem is written for a project. Honestly, I don't know what it's all about, but reading it after I absentmindedly wrote it gave me this sadness in the form of a tugging feeling in my stomach...
