Slave

By cyan9

All the beauty on this Earth
Could not drown out this pain,
For I am locked in a world without you,
I am locked into this beauty again.

Wandering from glen to gorge
And finding myself at the waters edge,
I pray for another’s company,
I pray to be let out from my head.

I spy the light of a cottage,
And in its warm aura I revel.
The oaken door creaks with age
As I gaze upon the open flames.

Remnants of keepsakes burn,
Ablaze with maps to your location,
Again I dream of meeting real people;
But everyone in this world is hollow.

    Thanks for the consideration, this is a relatively new piece that looks back at myself about 5-10 years ago. And yes I have found people that are at the least less than hollow...
