It's cold here, the sky is bleak and foreign The wind howls and cries out to no avail An answer is either too foreign or does not exist Shouting into the void, I too, get no answer Rather, I contemplate actions passed Yours and mine Freedom of speech and emotional chaos All I thought I had figured out has since been taken from me I can only ponder the why of this, the how A ramshackle assembly line moving too fast I find that my position is both stuck and unstuck in time and reality Though time has since passed, I am unsure of my current whereabouts Will closure ever come? Maybe, maybe not Will I experience your warm embrace once again? Will our lips ever have the occasion to meet now that the dust has settled? The answers are the same This reality is bitter and unfeeling It cares not for you or I I simply hope you are weathering the storm better than me For, we know each other well It cuts away like a furious blade until little of who I once was is left One of the lost souls Driven to the edge
