  • …twilight…

    Mortal Wounds

    I feel shackled,
    Bound by the solitude that leaves me empty,
    Drained of life and emotion
    Numb to the pain around me…

    The roads twist and turn,
    And I continue to drive
    Through potholes and fog
    Sleet and rain
    An unending journey
    Accompanied by pain…

    Sunshine’s but a fantasy–
    A false happiness
    Of a memory too far gone to recall,
    Lost in a whirlwind of
    Could’ve, Should’ve, Would’ve…
    The day passes
    Another chance goes by
    And still I drive…

    While the world sleeps
    A heart breaks
    A slow tear
    Quickly ruptures all things familiar
    A vein bursts
    And life goes on…
