Where am I?
of that.. I do not care...
I want to fade... and never return..
slip away.. just forgettingmy grip..
Hate when I feel, feeling alone..
Hate to be..being alive..
all I've lost is all I have!
I gave more... more than I had.
Now alone..and alone inside..
Lost without...and within..
Was it ever mine?
was that dance a dream?
can I relate, even to myself?
I need to know, need nothing at all...
endurance has came, and left me behind..
Draining my soul with that smile..
...My soul?
am I..will I ever be?
I was entangled..
when she set me free..
again I am lost..again..
Were they there...as mine flowed?
true and deep.. emptied by loss..
never to feel the gain..
secluded in the world with others all around.
Is the decade really ever won or lost?
but...does it really matter?
feelings left...empty souls revealed..
Who am I? and waas I really ever me,
will I ever be?
I am just this shell
all that people see
I am lost.. and, never truly found..
Trapped within, so never seen..
Never will they know..
the pain,
the pain!
The pain I reap...

Pain, indeed. Well understood feelings here. Good job, For_Never.

Succeeds the glory of the bowl -
An idle longing night and day
To dream my very life away

Ok, I really love this one...the format, the message, the wistful sense of melancholy laced with agony- I can relate to this one in many ways- I may not know the pain you reap, but you expressed it well enough to remind me of the pain I reap....

Thank you.

I often fall back on those feelings..but...now they seem to be more shadows of what they once were..
