Loneliness



Lost in the darkness of this life,
Once I thought that I saw a light,
but alas, no
it was just a trick of my sight.
 
For that is all the world is,
one large deception,
an image without truth it is,
whose form is determined by perception.
 
The perception alone,
never seems to be,
determined by anyone,
least of all, me.

Memories sink into the mire of my mind, 
thoughts and dreams that sometimes were kind,
they all drift as my life floats away, 
the loneliness comes now even during the day, 
Alas the rind of life is striped away.

Distance



People have said that
distance makes the heart grow fonder, 
so, why is it then that 
it seems to make each day grow longer?

Though, if given the choice, 
even though a poor substitute, 
I would prefer to only hear your voice
then to wait for you to be near

My love continues, 
despite the distance, 
and my heart yearns 
to be near you again, just once.

Anger

The heat of the moment strikes me, 
it charges my emotion 
and so I come to see
that the only answer is action!

Rational thought is thrown away
and all I can think about is what should 
be done, I draw back and pound away,
alas, it is only wood.

Loss of Innocence

Once, my heart was full of joy, 
but along came darkness that took that away, 
sometimes now I feel that I was but a toy,
and for those times, all I see is gray.

I hurt because I could not see, 
now though my soul it may jade, 
I recognize that nothing good was to come to me,
all I can rely upon is something by myself made.

Joy is the illusion that
I have witnessed but a few times, real it 
cannot be, and so fragile that
is that to see it truly, is to lose it.
