Solitary Echoes
Distraught through pain
Riddled upon each line
of my emotional being
Tones never experienced
Now have passed
Through my ears
Straight to my heart
Leaving it to bleed
Profusely
My mind boils
with greatest confusion
Words that are spoken
Seem so far away
Yes, distant
Hearing only the shallow
Echoes
I begin to turn
Turning cards over
One by one
Playing my part
in this life
Almost like a game of
Russian roulette
Yes, love is the cruelest
gamble that exists
Somehow I thought
I had the cards
to play
Only left to realize
I was playing
Solitaire
Help the heart to mend
My heart that is
Is there a button
to fast forward
this process?
Seems as though
it is stuck on
Pause
The anchor is tied
I'm plummeting down
Miles underneath
Emotional turmoil
Will she take a breath?
Or allow herself
to be saved?
Time tics by
Hour upon hour
Minute after minute
Leading into seconds
to decide
Her petals are
wilting
Nourishment has
ceased
A blossoming bud
buried
Buried beneath
multitudes of
what if's
Could someone please
get me out of pause?
Help me find my
footing
Stepping one foot in front
of the other into...
what should've been.
