Reflections of My Perceptions
abandoned
i am but an emotional shipwreck,
thrust against rocks so jagged
vicious, sharp, cutting,their pierce
puncturing my hull, releasing my happiness
allowing misery and doubt to seep through
holes, gaping, too heavy a heart,
sinking, my shell breeched,
deep, penetrating wounds
fleeting memories escaping
yet my mind remains in your trap
shackled, like the galley slave
abandoned by the very hope of love
lost at sea, caught within the storm,
lashed by torrent, the fabric of my sails
shredded, thus no wind can steer me away
as i rush headlong into my awaiting doom
rudderless, without direction
so i circle, slowly going down
down, down, what seems to me an eternal
never ending watery whirlpool
completely outing the inferno
once burning within,
for i am now without
and my shell leaks, i sweat
i bleed, i cry, these words
all i have left of what we had
not to mention the base, emptiness
of a soul filled with regret
thrust against rocks so jagged
vicious, sharp, cutting,their pierce
puncturing my hull, releasing my happiness
allowing misery and doubt to seep through
holes, gaping, too heavy a heart,
sinking, my shell breeched,
deep, penetrating wounds
fleeting memories escaping
yet my mind remains in your trap
shackled, like the galley slave
abandoned by the very hope of love
lost at sea, caught within the storm,
lashed by torrent, the fabric of my sails
shredded, thus no wind can steer me away
as i rush headlong into my awaiting doom
rudderless, without direction
so i circle, slowly going down
down, down, what seems to me an eternal
never ending watery whirlpool
completely outing the inferno
once burning within,
for i am now without
and my shell leaks, i sweat
i bleed, i cry, these words
all i have left of what we had
not to mention the base, emptiness
of a soul filled with regret
