(this is something I had an idea for recently, and I just wanted to test the waters and see what people thought, so here goes...)



Figure it out...
-------------------

Silently, I walk this world
outside of time and feeling
memories haunt me as I go
each step more unappealing
bound to nothing, floating free
onward still I trudge
darkness pressing ever in
years gone by, my only judge

Passing days seem just a dream
little left but smoke and mist
every one just slips away
as grains of sand through failing fist
somehow though, I carry on
enwrapped in nightmare's dreary shroud

Hounded by the monsterous past
ever seperate from the crowd
little left of what once was
passing time leaves just a hole

My hollow shell that once held life
encases just an empty soul




[Author's note: The reason I'm looking for feedback is because of the "idea" that this poem is based on.  I'm sure you'll notice the A,B,C,B pattern, but the splits between the sections are the idea, the poem is intended to be read straight through, without pausing between the sections (even though it breaks up some of the rhymes)... It was tough for me to write this because the "idea" was built around creating a poem when the first letter of each line was already predetermined, and I had to MAKE the lines fit based on that.  Go back and re-read it and see if you can "figure it out" now.]

It really is great!! The flow, the rhyming, the wording...all amazing!! Wonderfully done, and welcome to pip

So no more hiding all your pain, you deserve a new start. That's why i'm closing myself away, this is a message from your heart.
