Forgotten

Alone in a crowd she falls to her knees
This crumpled up doll that nobody sees
Her strength is gone and her will is broken
Her words fall unheard as if unspoken
As she falls prey to all the madness
Another victim of the darkness

Unseen

She lies wounded, scars exposed to all
Her tears run red, colored by her fall
Her blank stare gazes toward the sky
As the world and time just pass her by
Alone and forgotten by those around
Within her own mind is where she’ll stay bound
No smiles will she give, no words will she speak
No solace she craves, nor pity does she seek
Her inner peace she has found at last
She’s no longer haunted by the past

Out Of Reach

Some days I feel myself coming undone
The fabric of my soul begs me to run
To seek shelter in some quiet place
To somewhere that no one will give chase
Maybe an island off in the distance
Where no one will know of my existence
Or maybe a mountain way up high
Somewhere so close to touching the sky
Or a forest so quiet and grim
A place forgotten and growing dim
But such an escape is out of my reach
Though someday I will find my quiet beach

Forgotten Hopes

The shadows fall long across the ground
The day is fading without a sound
The sun falls low in the sky
Stars appear to catch your eye
Looking up to hopes that were lost
Thinking back on the problems crossed
So much in our lives we have conquered
Yet we feel our dreams are not answered
We stop looking at those stars above
Forgetting there’s any hope for love
Those tiny lights we used to dream upon
Flickering and fading until their gone
Once we forget to look up high
Those distant hopes will fade and die
