I am Alone

I am Alone

'I am alone', he says

'My eyes are forgotten civilizations'

Who dares gaze into the depths of murky grey?

What is the sea? What is an ocean's kiss?

Loneliness is a fiery abyss

A journey to the depths of the great blue

If so I have drowned countless times

Swum with the fishes, ah!

But even the fish have abandoned me, to my thoughts

'And what are your thoughts like?'

I ask, my eyes alight

'Oh, my thoughts are perpetual firefights

Even then, what is rest?'

I am caught in the middle of a hail of bullets

Right here, in my mind

'And I am alone', he cries

Meandering the gold path that belies

Even the light has betrayed me

I am alone

My body is a broken mirror

Crooked, distorted, wounded, shattered into

A million blood-stained pieces

I am alone, he says

--------

Much love
