Caught In The Past

by Brittany C   Jul 2, 2007


Blinded by a bright future,
she looks to the past.
For the comfort of the known.

Afraid of what may come in
the many days yet to live.
Never moving forward; silent.

So caught up that days
pass by her unnoticed; lost.
Turning into dark lonely years.

Life passed her in a flash.
Noticed only by loved ones
that once tried to help her.

But now just watch helplessly.

    This kind of has the same concept of time passing us by in it, i like that the ending was just the one line, really showed a finishing point, 5/5 xx

    I don't think I have ever read anything like this before. This is unique and absolutely amazing. "For the comfort of the known." That line is so true, it would have to be my favourite line. Well done on a wonderful poem.
    5/5, but you sure do deserve more
