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
