9Ghost of Departure
Where do I begin?
Driven into my thoughts like a rusty knife
cutting a razor edge into pantomime's voiceless line
I am speechless.
Silenced by the unknown and quiet to my soul.
It was a dream I couldn' wake up from.
A nightmare !!
Maybe it was the poison, screaming tortures, that flows inside of me, I just don't know anymore.
I stand stoic, like a statue in the park, frozen on the inside and out. I start to feel the moss grow on my bronze feet.
Anchored to the ground.
I couldn't move.
I am a ghost in departure drowning in secluded feelings I can not explain
