Lonely

Thinking of you.

Time passes by.

Lost in loneliness.

Waiting for tomorrow.

Pictures of you fill my thoughts.

I ache to be near you again.

When will you return?

I need you near.

The smell of your hair.

The touch of your skin.

Your smile.

And here I remain.

Dreaming of you.

Contemplation

Life falls apart, like leaves from a tree.

Time runs away, yet I stand still.

I look in the mirror, but do not recognize my own face.

Who is the man in the mirror?

What have I become?

I am but a boy trapped in an aging man’s body.

I hope for change, but know it will not come.

Fate is what you make it, so I’ve been told.

I know my fate, but hide it from others.

A warm smile, a soft laugh.

Both help me hide my fate behind a mask.

Will anyone stop to look behind the mask, or will fate run its course?

Love Lost

Burning desire I cannot hide.
I look into your eyes, why do you not care?
Love lost for unspoken reasons.
I cry inside, but hide the pain.
You smile at me, but my heart knows you do not care.
I hang on to nothing in hopes of anything.
Living a life I cannot bear.
One day closer to ending it all.
Please let me go so I can heal.
Days, weeks, months go by.
I am hollow inside.
I beg for strength, but find none.
One last smile before I go.
My heart is now broken, and so am I.
Goodbye.
