some where deep in the shadows

She’s going away
And taking happiness with her
I’m alone
Empty within, empty without
Waking every morning
Only to ask
“What’s wrong with my life today?”
Never once caring
Then we’re at school,
You dance just out of sight
As I fake a smile,
That no one notices
Take no note,
As I drown in thoughts of my own demise
Finding solace in my last moments
To late for healing
To late for prayers
You took it all away,
With one last kiss…

-lance

There is no peace among the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter and the laughter of thirsting gods

"You dance just out of sight"

What a wonderful line to express the idea of trying to recapture a dream!

This is a very excellent poem and as for those lines, one day I think we have to wake up and realize that the only thing wrong with our lives are ourselves, happiness is a choice (I for one can't seem to make it)...nice write, thanks for sharing.
