A shot in the dark

All through my life. 

I see this pain...

throughout

And I am at a loss for words

And thoughts

And action...

And everything

For I have lost...

things

And friends

And family

And time

And maybe...myself...

I am a cliff

Eroding,

one wave at a time

I'm not sure if you understand this meaning

But I do...

and that is enough...

Cause I don't write this down for you or them or him

I write because I have these thoughts like weights

Thick and heavy they fill me till I have no room left for anything else

And they plead for escape and release out of my mouth and through my eyes

But I have nothing left...

I feel not empty, but sealed

From the inside and out

I cannot feel you, but I cannot feel myself

I need a change

A shock

A shot

A something 

To bring me back

Wake me up

I hope it's something good

But hope is foolish....and I am a fool
