It is not easy
when I am here
in this solitary
place and
space of mind

the emptiness
surrounds me
until it is absorbed
through every pore

rushing
through my veins
until I am left

      emotionless

staring at the walls
listening to the sounds
of silence
breaking with every
tick of clock

   praying
          for time to stop

just long enough
for me to catch my breath
to analyze
any feelings left

but there are none
to be found
here or there
I am void
of feelings
anywhere.

Left cold,
I lie within
this secluded tomb
trying to regain the warmth
of mothers womb.

I am
   voiceless,
alone with my spirit scarred
here, in this nothingness....

      it is hard.


I have felt the healing in the fingertips, burning up with fire;I have held the hand of the devil, it was warm in the night, it was cold as stone-I still haven't found what I'm looking for.....U2

Life is a balance
of holding on and letting go (KU)

It sounds like you need an RX from Doctor Love.
Got one coming up...

Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
