And all the little pieces
Of your life packed up
In cardboard boxes
Seem to mean nothing
Moving on or just moving again
Drifting on through
Endless hours
Like waves pounding the rocks
Smashing themselves to oblivion
Skimming over the same emotions
Actions and words, over and over
All seem incomprehensible
All glassed over, distant dreamlike
Fingers balled in a fist
Trying to let go
Trying to open up
Trying to move on

Oooh, Buff the nit-picker is back. I believe the last line, 2nd stanza should be "Smashing themselves to oblivion".
Other than that, this is outstanding! Emotional, lyrical, honest. Love it. Buff

Glad you did
How many times have I been here!! Looking around running from the pain (first instinct) the part I like:
Moving on or just moving again Drifting on through Endless hours Like waves pounding the rocks Smashing them self to oblivion
