A look inside of Myself

I look inside of myself asking

Will I be defined by things that

I have done or will it be

what I could have been?

 

nothing comes from indifference

my conscience is telling me

but apathy has grown to a level

of what I can not  defeat alone

 

I no longer care about the dreams

I once had

left in it's place is a sadness I carry

deep inside my heart

a pain I can no longer hide

feeling I have all but lost my soul

 

I have played my part to well

disconnected an feeling so alone

I'm trying despairingly to rise above

it all 

but loneliness in it's own right is Hell

 

the sands of time keep holding up these 

memories that keep calling Me home

but there's no use in going

for everything has changed

 

forced to live in the cruel reality of

it's a love I can never have again

as she was the first love

one that I can never forget

In a loving memory I'll carry it to my death

I close my eyes 

to see her smiling back

 

a vision I keep deep within my heart

Yes I'll still love her tomorrow

an the day after that

a tireless dream of what could have been

that leaves Me longing for more

 

I look inside of myself asking

Will I be defined by things that

I have done or will it be of who I loved

I really loved this

This was very well written. It was sobering, yet it has this healing element hidden deep inside it's sad words. I really enjoyed reading this one. The emotion was clear and came across very powerfully. It was a beautiful experience to read this.
