Outside of Me
I close my eyes and I’m lost and alone.
I open my eyes and I’m found once again.
Like a stray dog running down the road I roam.
With a destination in mind, but not knowing what or where that destination is, I keep searching.
Always alone, always cold, always hungry for something that seems impossible and out of reach.
All the stories untold swirl like a winter snow storm in my mind.
Pain twirls and twists and does It’s dance of evil rampage in the headless body.
No one knows who starts it moving or when it will stop.
Tearing myself open to allow it to leave seems like the only option.
I hide my face from the Reaper in deep regret that the clock keeps ticking but the alarm won’t go off.
Love is everywhere. . . . Outside of me.
