Wounds

Licking my wounds you left me alone
born a drifter never feeling at home

Disconnected from you disconnected from me
never finding the potential in what I could be

Cobwebs and thread covering my heart
constantly mending pieces forever falling apart

Knowing I can't run and with no wings to fly
I watch my own life like a movie as it passes me by

An actor in the background no script and no credit
a cut or lost scene removed in the edit

The mineral sting of blood on my lips
the unending reach of my empty fingertips

Never tasting love though we share the same plate
moldy, forgotten, food that nobody ate

I sit at my table and you sit at yours
you walk away upright and I crawl on all fours

The comfort I will never have the embrace I won't feel
these painful wounds are all that is real.

Having coffee with a friend has given way to "snap chats" and Skype. Kids would rather take selfies than take a walk outside. Our society is addicted to social media and more narcissistic than ever. I am guilty of it and it makes me sad. This is not who I dreamed I would be when I was a kid. I thought being an adult was going to be awesome but mostly it's a conf...

Life rhythm: I ebb , I flow Windows are closed and I can't find the door. Bouncing like a dropped rubber ball ricocheting against every wall. Over and over I come and I go Never finding that place to call home. It burns and I harden like lava to rock Ticking and chiming I run like a clock. Running and running but staying in place Holding back my words trying to save face. Tears replace anger and make it all worse I don't cry because I'm weak I cry because it hurts.
