I see him there
But he doesn’t talk
He finds me staring
And turns around to walk
Is this what we’ve been reduced to?
Ignorant bliss - solely for you
Shackled to our bonds
And surrounded by brambles
Like sand castles by the sea
Strong foundations crumble
My hand shakes, my pen breaks
But I am not suppressed
Tearing grass and filling pages
With a force I never knew I possessed
Feeling unwanted, ignored and lost
I sink down with the approaching dusk
Losing myself in the thick mist
My identity becomes a mask
My lips start to quiver
Because you’re right there
But you’re looking right through me
I realize, with a shiver
Nothing remains, all is lost
My efforts are in vain
Pain and twangs of sadness are all I have
When you are washed away in the rain
