the night seemed to die away slowly when i started the beginning of the end of my life i tried staring directly into the twilight sky searching for an answer a motive but all i found were jumbo jets filled with people searching for lives lost i could make out the patterns of stars graffiti drawn in by the souls past the colors were wrapped in each other and slowly spread through darkness heading towards absolutely nowhere tracing the paths with my finger only for her to come to mind i had missed her more than i missed the feeling of being without her i walked aimlessly through the city and wound up in the middle of nowhere the day was beginning to end the orange and violet stretched on forever the buildings had pierced the clouds and obstructed my means of escape i took the 204 towards another day and the fall had blown its way in life had become something beyond a nightmare the sun had clocked in and out the same as it always has the lonely nights and empty diners were all i remembered i'll always try to remember that never changing smile of yours that chilled me to the very center life was hard to bare wondering what the future held was a past time that fueled useless past with never ending sorrow running away from life through the bedroom window only to return home the satin sheets soaked with your tears of dissappointment where did we go wrong? the stars were brighter than usual tonight the terminal was filled with the lifeless souls of lives not worth living anymore i patiently waited for my turn to make my way towards nowhere life had been worth living but the already faded colors washed out with frozen rains of shadow concepts with my face in hands i wondered almost aloud where i went wrong only for you to come to mind because i missed you more than i missed the feeling of living without you |

Turtle~ You have some poignantly beautiful, though very sad, thoughts in this piece~ 'the sun had clocked in and out the same as it always has' WOW ... I like that~ 'i patiently waited for my turn to make my way towards nowhere' I could visualize the slow progression toward the 'nowhere' destination~ Hope this is just a really good emotional purge and that you now know there is always that brightest of lights just around the next bend in the terminal~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*No matter what I search for ... |
