Lines Composed in Confusion




Vacuum-
An empty space
Brought upon by hollow feelings,
and shallow souls.

Emptiness-
Brought about by
the words that will not stop flowing
Through these catacombs in my head.

Pushing-
The phrases out
In the monotonous rhetoric
Of other's comprehension.

Living-
Day to day with a past
That shall never leave
and never mend the scars on my heart.

Finding-
Hidden meanings in every look
On every street corner, looking
for answers that will never come.

Breathing-
Short breaths, then long ones
Trying to achieve a perfect
Rhythm in you.

Eyes-
That never seem to blink,
Pondering fears that I
Could never save you from.

Begging-
Forgiveness from every
Eye that weeps for
That which is lost-
Forever.
