It was a long walk towards home today
the streets were wet with evening rain
the clouds were dark in a loving way
shielding me from solar rays

i came home alone again today
cars passed by unaware of my empty presence
the wind howled through the trees
and littered the street with deadened leaves

Love was something that had been missing
an emotion that had no apparent equal
the feeling felt a thousand years old
I stayed warm in my clothes but shivered from cold

the people seemed to move in slow motion
transparent figures of the known universe
the reigning shadows of society
described me with letters i and t

the air had felt cold and empty
a sign of the events to come later on
the words barely escaped my mouth
silently reading my emotions aloud

the buildings stretched for the clouds
the brick walls were cold and unwelcoming
stories told from eventual wear
the boston air was hard to bare

i neared the steps of my place called home
taking in the last of the whistling breeze
the rain had given me pain and solace
as the sun had slipped away unnoticed

but the day had finally ended
to the meloncolic sky i said goodbye
my heart had sunk and filled with sorrow
wondering if i'll walk home alone tomorrow

If it wasn't right, wasn't real ...
then why did it make us feel ....?

Welcome to Passions! Having the ability to express yourself well, it is not uncommon to feel "outside" the others' circles...for a while. Suddenly, though, one day you'll come into your own, and seek some private time!

I think you've found a second home here. I look forward to reading more of your writings!
