Alone

Like the imperfect patterns of falling rain drops
my heart beats fast to slow then stops
life's catching up with these running legs in motion
it hit me today among all this commotion
eyes well with tears and one falls down my cheek
this soul used to be shy and meek
what has gotten into my heart and changed my mind
following the wrong path perhaps to which i was aligned
so tragic a time as these days alone
wishes and dreams cast like a stone
the things in life other take for granted but not me
i hold dear to my heat and never let you see
the side of me i cant handle myself
its like i bought my life right off the shelf
warranty expired and guarantee outdated
remembering the things i once hated
with the flutter of my eyes and a turn of the head
i know the path i must take instead
heart lead this vessel with power and grace
feet walk again at their own steady pace
light shine on these once dark days
eyes see past this heavy haze
i see past all your lies
through your soul and through your eyes
hands alone with no one to hold
pondered the idea but now I'm sold
