The sands of time stand still As I sit upon my window sill Staring into the vast of night The only sound is that of fright The fear of all that I have become A tangled web which cannot be undone This creature I thought one time was me Becoming a painful memory Innocense lost somewhere within encased in darkness, wrought with sin The demons that scream within my chest Of which I pray to lay to rest I use them with engraved disdain To escape the reality of my pain The longing of what once was real The aching to once again...feel. Joy, elation, emotion-LOVE Encased within this velvet glove My eyes once more caress the night Hoping it will hear my plight And bring once more, I beg to me What has been lost-the child in me.
