my castle wall
protected
sheltered

from the world
it’s prejudice
it’s lies
it’s tragedy

I was quite contented
in my makebelief
world
of perfection
of beauty
until
it crumble

and I was forced
to face
reality
that I can’t be
on my own
all the time

that I need to live
to be with people
to share
to laugh
to cry

but I’ve been
on my own
for awhile

it’s hard
to have company
once again
to give
to love
to live
one more time

I’ve given
so much
before

I’ve lost
a lot

Am I to blame
If I rather
choose my
own company

In a glimpse
I see people
I love
walk away

In a glimpse
I see places
I know
gone by

In a glimpse
nothing is
the same
everything change

In a glimpse
a flicker
a moment
fade away

In a glimpse
the ticking of
the clock
beat continously

In a glimpse
a moment lost
a memory shared
a priceless treasured

In a glimpse
my eyes see
my heart feels
beauty in pain

Echoes,
voices,
laughter,
closer they come

Chaotic mind
mixed emotions
a strange feeling
of loneliness

looking back
moving on
at the crossroads

alone
voices again
farther, farther
shadows, glimpses
of yesterday

peace
contentment
so out of reach
but I long

I realize
lost cause
a gamble
I made
still lost

SOMEDAY
a dream
YESTERDAY
a memory
TODAY
a reality
