Vast and Lonely Spaces
Into those vast spaces, where my mind does roam,
I gaze and find dark e m p t i n e s s all around,
Lin ger ing, looking for someone to hold me,
I cru m b l e to p - i - e - c - e - s beneath these false smiles...
Inside those vast spaces, where my heart does hang,
I gasp and find damp h o l l o w n e s s choking me,
Torn by l o n e l i n e s s, croaking cries in silence,
I fumble in fragile f r a g m e n t s masked in mirth...
Within these vast spaces, where people do live,
Does anyone have such OPEN MINDEDNESS
To accept me with my mood swings, muse and f-l-a-w-s?
I hope there is, but God knows, I'm still w a i t i n g . . . . . .
