It is in the moments of quiet
That I hear my heart the most
I'm a silent dreamer
I guess I've always been

To afraid to shout out the words
My heart about to break
Release me...foolish dreams
Time has not been a kind friend

Light and dark continue
Continue to play their favorite game
Colors surrounding me, flashing before my eyes
Is this confusion...peace....I simply do not know

I listen for the words not said
Perhaps those words are better left unsaid
I wait for sweet release
Knowing it may never come

What am I hiding from
Why do I continue to run long after I'm tired
There is no point in reaching
For something that was never there

I stare at the bare wall
As I hear the clock ticking
It serves to remind
That I lost something that was never mine

"Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"

Good writing - it's hard to see part of our lives move on and away.  You write about how it feels very well.

That poems resonates how I feel about life sometimes. Nice to know I'm not alone feeling such things and to see the feeling crafted into verse.
