time has finally caught up and
slowed me down, leaving me breathless
intent to teach me a thing or two
disturbed thoughts push my dreams away
waiting to be fulfilled
my dreams linger around
weighing me down every day
one by one, i lose sight of
those once around me and
trudge on on my own,
through rain and through sun
as i pretend to live life
darkness [ silence ] engulfs me
painting my heart black
while my eyes continue to
scan the road that seemingly
has no end...
