cold and lonely
Time seems to stop as I lay here
Between this world and the next
eyes fluttering, longing for the dark
longing for the sleep that will not come
In between two worlds, torn apart by each
This world is real, yet so lonely
The next world--happy, yet false
Gazing into the distance the thoughts come
Visions entice my mind, Apparitions entice my heart
eyes fluttering, longing for the dark
Quietly I give in--quietly I let the darkness consume me
Then suddenly I am there once again
There in that place that knows no sadness
Longing to stay, yet so quickly pulled back to reality
cold and lonely
Between this world and the next
eyes fluttering, longing for the dark

Very good poem, about the feeling lonely, to many people it's all different meanings, but you, you described it quiet well in your sight or opinion of it, and i congradulate you,good job!

awesome
i looooove this one. it's all dark and haunting and pretty. i don't know what perspective you wrote it from, but one of the cool things about poetry is that different people will relate to and connect it with it differently depending on their circumstances. this reminds me of dreaming... and of how i used to hide in my room and try to sleep all day simply to escape and avoid my tumultuous life. and i love the vocab you 'employed' as well. "entice...apparitions..." very cool.
