Alone Inside
alone inside, where I once was
in between tears and prayers
where anguish held measure
and where grief held tomorrow
memories once drowned, breathe
spewing lies that hold me numb
the tearing of a soul into pieces
as I waltz once again through hell
steps wander me through dreams
in their darkness I hear my cries
tasting the truth in its bitterness
alone inside, where I’ll always be
I really love this, achingly
I really love this, achingly sad and makes one wonder what happened to inspire such heart wrenching words. sue.
thank you Sue for the kind
thank you Sue for the kind words, as for the inspiration, just little pieces of growing up, and growing old, thrown together in a bit of meloncholy. Being able to smile afterwards is the key, and I do smile. Thanks again
It was a brilliant strategy
It was a brilliant strategy to describe loneliness as a detachment from one's very self, creating a sense of utter emptiness. I could feel the crushing desolation in that space "where I once was" where "steps wander me through dreams". An impressive expression that hits the target and pierces the heart. Stunning!
