i can't stop hiding

0 posted 2003-10-21 10:33 PM



something seen from
the other side of my life
hidden away tucked in a corner
the meat of my life hidden away

saved from grotesque reality
that has smothered me
every inch of what I know as reality
something to go back to for innocence

hidden in the dripped candle wax
a trail of my past, blackened
blackened by every bad thing
that has happened, impurities

I can’t have the last, sainted
the last of what I could have been
the last of all I was
my last hope for life

when you live you begin to die
when you die memories of you life lives in others
when memories of you begin to fade
you truly begin to die

Perhaps the path of the past is better left to the dead and the blackened sky. When we have nothing left in what we call this reality; to look behind us brings forth so much clairity. So true and a privalege to read.
