OUTBREAK

You turn away
I scream
My hand goes out
You disappear
I am a shell, empty and worn
The pain brings me back
The Void calls, promising its dark embrace
Of peace and nothingness
Gun to my head
I scream
The tears fall and burn
I scream
I scream
I scream
Poems con't
Quest

The sorrow, the seeking
every stone, every face
I see that which I will never have
An eternal quest, death the reward
One more day, one more life
Brings nothing, brings emptiness
I live my life in dreams
Dreams with love
Dreams with life
Dreams with death
Reality, the twisted joke
Me, the punch-line...

You spin around, a leaf in the water
It pushes you here
It pushes you there
Water collects within your upturned edges
Unable to escape
Your presence leaves a wake
Two ripples, changing the course of other leaves
Washing away silt from rocks
Making them anew
You spin around a leaf in the water
Controlling the wind with your edges
Leaving the world changed in your wake
Without realizing
Without knowing
You are not lost...
