The Next Step

What am I to feel now That my tears have dried up And my sorrow is in a deep sleep Wrapped in a blanket Soaked heavy with bitterness and doubt I lie on the floor and it invites my weight It's chill offered solace For a heart that is now weary And lying flat where grief has consumed What haunts me is the decision To shatter this porcelain bond Or cling to this mask , tightly In a play with no audience Where vows hang like ghosts And desires endlessly echo Through our abandoned halls of love Meanwhile the truth Raw and hideous Whisper secrets too hard to hold Filling silences with dread The way nightmares come true And each of your breaths a reminder Of empty spaces that are left Where passion once did linger But since has fled from our lives What am I supposed to do now When walking feels like sleeping Reaching out for you leads me To only nothingness And dreams unravel, frayed In the dark corners of my mind Where I search for remnants But only find shards of pain
