Mixed Emotions

Loneliness

creeps willingly into my heart,

arms spread-eagled,

as it takes over the rest of me

it rules in me

it reigns in my soul

like an evil spirit it possesses me

it controls me,

like a ventriloquist does

to a puppet on a string,

In the living room

In the living room I sit and stare

at the wall and all that is there

waiting for something to happen

but seconds become minutes

and minutes turn to hours

I find myself at the same spot

staring at the same wall

waiting for something to happen

while everything is happening

outside!!!

Life Goes On

When you feel your world is closing down on you,

When you think you might not make it through,

When your troubles seem too much to bear,

When you see your destiny, but just can’t get there,

When your way looks dark and you’re stumbling around,

Here's the one thing you can always count on

Life goes on

MY HEART

My heart knows no happiness.

It is worn out

All the heartache and the pain set upon it

One more trouble and it will break

It is fragile like china in careless hands,

Delicate and sensitive.

My heart is a basketful of broken dreams

I am but a ship that sails without a compass

I can’t see my way.

I am lost, so lost in a sea of hopes and dreams.

We always want what we can't have

WE ALWAYS WANT WHAT IS NOT.

AND WHAT I AM, I DON’T WANT

WHAT I AM NOT, I REALLY WANT.

WHAT I AM, OTHER PEOPLE WANT

WHAT THEY ARE, I WANT.
