There’s a black field below a snowy mountain
The silent shadows fly circles around it
A chilly breeze blows and I’m surrounded by doubt
Something here just doesn’t quite fit
I’ve heard them before as they screeched in my ear
They know things that others can’t begin to fathom
I try to translate their screeches but it hurts me too much
Their voices so painful I slowly go numb
Vanished in the wind I let go of myself
And it’s so tranquil that I can hardly see
Alone in the world with just bone, blood, and flesh
An empty hollow for no one to see
Cowering down in a sea of lies
I know there’s something I have to find
Lost is my soul and dark is my heart
But at least I’m still in my right state of mind
Falling back now repeating the old
It’s time to lie down and rest our heads
Emotions drain empty as we feel ourselves weak
Now all we can do is pass out on our beds
Why is everything always spinning?
Those we care about fade out of view
We hold on to ourselves and slowly we cry
We know there’s nothing that we can do
Bare feet upon the cold hard ground
Back to reality where I belong
Take a step forward, first one, than two
I must continue though the days are long
Cowering down in a sea of lies
I know there’s something I have to find
Lost is my soul and dark is my heart
But at least I’m still in my right state of mind
The walls have now crumbled and I can see what’s inside
A weak beating heart and a slow breaking mind
Is this truly what I have been looking for?
Was this really worth leaving everything behind?
There must be something here that I can salvage
And I’m still searching despite the harsh wind
After everything I’ve risked and everything I’ve done
Perhaps this is punishment for all I have sinned
I collapse in the rubble, nothing more I can do
I lay my arms down to rest at my sides
I feel myself drowning in that sea of lies
Defeated by the relentless tides
Once more cowering in a sea of lies
There’s still something I have to find
Gone is my soul and broken is my heart
But somehow I’m still in my right state of mind

Description:
I wrote this one a while ago when I was with my ex... For those who read the poem and don't quite understand the message behind it, it's basically expressing how much I felt the relationship wasn't going anywhere.
And it didn't. But this one is still one of the best I've written. ^.^ - Date: 07/15/2008
