Paradise [flashback poem] 9/2005

by Vic   Oct 26, 2007


My paradise fades away as the walls close in on me.
Harder it becomes for me to breathe.
The light dims as I'm enveloped in the sins of my corrupt mind.
I have nothing left to feel but unease.

Paradise, once a step away, became unreachable.
My hopes and dreams left with you.
We've lost touch and connection was gone.
I was alone and felt blue.
I had nothing to do and nothing to think about.
You left my mind messed up and clouded.
Pressure was closing in and I was losing my mind.
I had to know if the frustration I felt was real.
Again I plunged into the depths of loss and grief.

Gone...
I had given up on everything.
The walls had closed in on me.
When I tried escaping it just led to more misery.
All was lost after a happy life,
Impossibilities happened that veered my sight.
Distraction was in every corner of my mind.
I couldn't shake this sad feeling.
I couldn't let it go and scream.
I struggled to breathe but before I knew it...
I was gone...

When I thought all hope was lost...
When nothing seemed to be going right...
When all I've done and regretted came back...
When the things I cared for seemed to disappear...
I woke up.

I remembered you were there.
I remembered you were a friend.
The person I could talk to,
The only one that understood.
The one that was with me to bring me up,
I had forgotten that you were there:
Forgotten your laughter
Forgotten your smile
Forgotten you.
Slowly everything returns to me.
My prized memories come back.
My life moved on again.
The pain I felt slowly disappeared.
The sun shone again...
Everything was back to the way I wanted it to be.
I have you to thank for it.
You make my paradise...
