Watching people slowly pass by Seeing lovers and joyous friends Laughing, loving, smiling In this almost perfect world As I sit in my personal hell The bounties of heaven Flourish on every face As I know only the curses of hell Demons plucking at my very heart Slowly slicing away Cutting my heart and soul into pieces Watching as the sorrowful remanence Of a once proud man Slowly scatter against the wind Jaded and torn, I can only watch Knowing that I may never stand among them To truly know the wonders they possess My inner demons laughing within Hearing their awful voices taunting me Knowing that I have become nothing truly a shadow, visible for only a moment the sun shining brightly, feeling briefly the warmth of love and happiness giving a little piece of my heart to those whom I care for but finding they never really cared then the emptiness deep inside the night returns to haunt me and I am lost, then soon forgotten but I can see dusk, nightfall approaches the shadows must wither and die Should I die also, leave all whom I love? My life, my heart scattered across time My love, spurned and discarded like garbage Tears pouring down my cheek Still asking the same question The same cold and sorrowed question I have asked for the whole of my life If I were to die tomorrow, Would anyone really care? I know only a few would feel some remorse But none would remember me Because no one remembers a shadow Once it has died with the light Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death. |

I have shared these same thoughts and many times I thought someone did care and then I started wondering and yet the important part is did I have friends, did I love, did I care? James |

Intense, sad, and very well done with the conveying of it all.  Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |

Ouch, this hurts. Well written, but painful. I hope this is just one of those miserable days, and the world looked better the next day. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
