Each time I peered down the rabbit hole
I got a glimpse of a forgotten world
It’s dreamt about, but no one ever dares to go there
I wasn’t any better
Just an audience, a speculator from bird’s eye view
And I never thought I’d get pushed in
Immediately thrashed into an ocean of tears,
I dared to breathe
Waiting on your island of lies and loneliness
I saw the smoke screen rise
I beheld the storms of deception
Desperately clinging onto the shelter I made
I only turned for a moment when it got blown away
And now the darkened sky cries for me
For the death of our forgotten trust
And carcasses of old dreams that burned away beneath the cruel sun’s gaze
There are moments when I’m overcome
Grieving for a life I realized I never lived
My only chance at survival being letting go
Forgetting
At times it seems that the constant storms
And burning sun will fade
But then they come back, full force,
Promising to beat life’s beauty away
I am afraid that even when the storms disappear
And the sun goes down
I will still be numb to it all
But even though I may not care
Nor will I have any faith or belief
I will still feel
And my heart could still break
