PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I locked all the doors and shut myself in
Bolted every single hatch and closed the windows
Draped the curtains and hid in silence
And now all I’m left with is fear

No one understands why I do it
Not even myself, I must admit
It is a complicated web of memory and shame
And I never want to go there, but I do – again and again

I dipped my head under a sea of you
Immersed myself in the deepness of your eyes
Got swallowed whole eventually, just as planned
I dipped my head under and lost myself in you

I live and breathe fantasy
So I don’t have to be somebody
Please don’t tell me to wake up
There’s nothing left inside of me

I was wading through a pool of thought
I swear there used to be some relief here
There used to be a home to run to
But age and time have washed it away
