Deja Vu

Held on to hope, sadly it was a mistake.

Left falling, spiraling out of control.

Pain grips the heart, sorrow fills the mind.

Failure would be what I describe.

There's a burning inside my soul.

Bringing me to my knees.

I can feel a weight being lifted.

Instinct drives me to reach out.

My hand grabs another.

I see myself looking back.

A younger me, a happier me.

At an age where happiness seemed endless.

When I had no care in the world.

His hand slips through my fingers.

He floats away and disappears.

I fall backwards into darkness.

No light, and yet I still see.

Deja vu sets in.

It's a familiar place, yet different.

I feel nothing.

Emotionless.

Memories escape me.

Thoughtless.

No words leave my lips.

Voiceless.

I am consumed by the world.

A world that we live in and share.

Consumed by the shadow that is doubt.

Broken in the darkness, I lay.

For I am nothing but an empty shell...
