A Forgotten Fear

In the desert my mind is lost,
Dry and helpless, nothing of use.
Dead to be, but a salt at loss
Tearing up a face of abuse.

Curled up in anger without hope,
Gone is the hour of trouble.
Never much to be done to cope,
My failures amount to couples.

The air is thin around my veins,
Much energy drained from within.
Each footstep is a mountain plain
Where the road leads to where I’ve been.

This is where I stood, this is where I’ll fall,
This is where I’ll die, where I once stood tall.

A dream of mine has now gone,
It was over before it grew.
I had once wrote a little song,
But it never became a truth.

The light in which I like to stand
Glares only into the darkness.
No one is here but the same man
Who was once filled with happiness.

My heart will crumble with envy,
I am jealous of his smile.
My mind has succumb to frenzy,
my soul has been gone a while.

I have lost my hope, I have lost my mind,
I can dream no more, I have lost my life.

One by one my pieces whither,
Falling towards the ground like glass.
The sand will be blowed and slithered,
Until all is covered like grass.

Nothing will be seen by the eye,
But underneath will be a pain.
It crawls under the skin to hide
And stays to play a different game.

I tend to feel all by myself,
Never sharing my inner needs.
This loneliness will never help
Me from the path of which I lead.
