Extinguished
By archangelmichael
Here I lie,
The still air,, screaming of what once was
Ghosts of emotions long forgotten, Hovering,, Screaming of what once was
This day, 2 years it has been since I felt love's embrace
2 years since I have dared to feel, for fear it would drive me over the
edge
That I would be driven mad,, And Scream for what once was
Now as I try to remember what once was
I Cannot.
I do not remember how to feel
I do not remember how to love
I do not remember how to hate
My only feeling is an emptiness that I cannot shake
A haunting ghost that I cannot escape
Over the years I have hoped to find someone that cared
Someone that could rekindle the spark of emotion
The spark that I fear has been extinguished for good
But no one came.
Every day I go into the world with my facade of humanity
I act as expected and not a soul sees my pain
I come home and reacquaint myself with my only friend
and my greatest enemy
As the bottle leaves the shelf I only ask
I beg, for a brief reprieve from this cold emptiness inside me
And I scream for what once was.
But day by day my hope dwindles
Day by day I realize that no help is coming
I can see that love does not exist
And the cold emptiness grows
Like a cancer
I understand now that I am alone
Forever
and always
ALONE!
(screaming for what once was)
