Unveiled

I see my past, 
Unveiled within this poem;
Written by an erratic hand---unwilling 
To cooperate with my heart’s rhythm.

I can not see the future, if there is no past.

I tried and had lived in the fast lane, but still 
Emptiness filled my brain; a grim
Hope is all I have, from my past; 
All’s gone. 

Only what is left inside of me is this poem.
