Lost

by Ash   Jun 20, 2008


Lost in a life that knows only lies,
bound by people with intricate ties.
Lost in a world that feels no hate,
people and events that created such a state.

Wallowing in self-pity of days long gone,
unaware of what stands out apart from them all.
Brought into deception of life's true worth,
clinging onto a reality that forced only hurt.

Days played on in a minds eye so blue,
who would've realized that it brought nothing new.
Through faces of them all betrayal rose so high,
the uncanny ways of life took to the sky.

Brought upon each face more than just a smile,
left scattered and hopelessly running another long mile.
Why was this way so unavoided true hope,
when all that scattered through thoughts were left to grope.

Feelings of nothing that could not hide,
the tired and restless mind through each tide.
Ebb and flow of the waves of time,
nothing is forever not even: "You and I".

The route now took brought such a shaded way,
the thoughts clinging deepened to relay each new day.
Blissful days only torture brought to rise,
upon each face was yet another falling to demise.

Water and sand brought dunes upon the plains.
where were the promises that made one live each day?
It's so long and so far apart,
nothing you say can ever mend this heart.

Confusion and disillusion of thoughts no longer at bay,
Life brought to a stand still as it's shape lost all way.
Promises are not meant to be broken,
times like these leave moments without a token.

(I dedicate this one to Stormyangel. I know it's not my best work and the end is a bit lame....)

    I liked it. the main impression i got was that this state extraneous for you, for example you keep talking about people that create such atmosphere. and it feels that you have will to cope with the "world knows only lies". good job.

    The only thing about the ending is that the inner stanza rhyming throws off the timing it speeds up the pace other than that it is awsome 100/5
