Upon the winds of change,
I find that my heart is flying
With a broken wing.
Life,
It seems is dying
And has become to hard to bear.
I feel I’m alone inside of my mind
With all the heartache, pain and suffering
Felt for someone’s care.
Why does life seem so cruel at times?
All seems to be going so well
And in the next breath,
Falling into complete and utter shambles;
Into a nightmarish living Hell.
What remains…
As I walk through the streets of life?
Slowly...
Alone.
I peer all around
At who or what is surrounding me.
On all sides
As far as I can see
Are shadowed figures blinding me.
While searching through the shadowed faces
I encounter,
I’m hoping to find,
As I’m scouring each,
The one inescapable set of eyes
That glow
And the one smile of beauty
That only my heart knows
That flows with a love from deep within.
Will I ever find them again?
Are they gone forever?
Were they even real to begin with
Or are they just a figment living inside my head?
Something imagined
That will forever be etched upon my heart?
I feel my heart breaking;
Falling apart,
Shattering like a heart of glass
Dropped from an unimaginable height;
Splintering into a million tiny shards and bits.
What remains…
Of my long and twisted journey
Called life?
I don’t know…
Maybe a life imprisoned in my own thoughts.
Lost to a world
That hasn’t a clue as to what is going on?
It has become a living nightmare…
One that I can’t seem to wake up from…
What remains…
Author notes
Sitting here on this rainly afternoon in Indiana, I was going through my notebook and happened upon something I had written and found something else I had written and decided the two went together and what resulted was this. I hope that you like it.

My dear Bree,
I'm not really sure what I was thinking when I wrote this. The two poems seem to fit together like hand and glove. Yeah, I've been there. Once too often it seems. I'm glad that you liked the poem. It seems to be my mood alot lately. I'm not sure why.
Life, I guess. Take care. Love and hugs...
