lost beneath a soulful me
where reality dreams
and fantasy breathes
familiar thoughts follow
forever and for always
fading only briefly
into a time pause
always beating
and there within lies a
bottomless pool of half dried tears
and swollen fears

there are no walls, no out to see
no place of comfort to feel free

somewhere along, a misguided path falls
carrying sideways a truth not for all
give into the silence
and a false sense of healing will assure
it is a temporary relief
of burning decease
walking in repeated steps
there lies a past of unforgiven rest
i stumble, i fall
i blind my own way in
a terror of open soars and deeper scars
i scream, i shout a voiceless plea
scared that only i
can ever release me to me
