THE WORLD THROUGH MY EYES

the world around me is collasping
with no means of repair,
the love i once knew flees
from me,
the desperation i feel
has no end in sight,
my very soul is crumbling away
like a decaying piece of earth,
my heart will never again
feel the warm embrace or
passion within a man,
alone shall i ever be
won't someone please free me,
my mind races with thoughts
of ending it all,
but my spirit spreads its wings
above all the turmoil,
high above the clouds
where no one can see my pain,
the prison which binds me here
will one day fall away,
but for now it is all i have
to keep me from drowning,
oh, how i long to have
true love with no reservations,
one where love is pure
and won't give way to
temptation,
in this world there is no
such thing,
only pain and sorrow
to follow those
who are foolish
enough to fall,
what a fool am i
to believe and
hope for this dream,
that crumbles
with just one touch,
here i stand crumbling
before you as if you
would even care,
why oh why do
i even try,
when all i do
is tremble inside...
