Alone in a dark room with only a candle lit
They see me as cold and lifeless
But I no longer care.
It is almost a nightmare as I silently watch
The tragedy unfold every second captured
In my cold blue eyes.

Legs crossed, lit ciggette in one hand,
Glass of warm wine in the other.
Bitter but not to much to match my outlook.

Each of them come
It seems they come wondering their fate
I only wonder when will this be over

See it is written out pretty clearly
I don't see the confusion at all
Another hurdle to jump
Another scap to heal

I seen to much and learned even more
to backtrack or play these tiresome games
It is just a door go through
You will never know till you move.

Strangled by your passions
Controlled by your belief it should last forever
But hopes and dreams are not always reality

It's just a door
Let me be okay with opening it
Let me be okay with me

It's time
Too many years gone by for me
To try and save the world
I don't even want to anymore

I just want to save myself
 
I felt that one. It made me sad to read that part about you not wanting to try anymore. I really look up to you. You are such a great person. Hope things get better in the end. Bye. :) OH yea I understood you completely.
 
Wonderful piece,
I picked up from that feelings of priorities changing as we progress through life, how what we consider important or crucial for 'our' survival changes with how we determine what 'our survival' may actually be. It's perhaps discouraging however to me, beautiful that we seem to encounter things within ourselves that have the capacity to drastically change how we think - resulting in our actions changing along with it.
 
First of all thanks dandy,, very appriecated from one fellow writter to the next, i admire your work so that makes that comment more special :)

second,,, yes you are so right on the money about this, growning old is a bitch sometimes but in light,, we grown more knowledge,,,,,, that can not be a bad thing at all. Changing how you think and deal with things is my major goal in life to balance things out, and it been working....

P.S. gratefully this is something I went through and came out of it smiling and very happy ! :) good news all around.

BrightEyesIsMe- thank you girl, it means alot but i knew you would feel it definately :) ~~~ nothing but luv for ya girl ;)
 
I like a lot! The first three stanzas strongly reminded me of that story.. Spirits of christmas past... or something to that effect. Its like memories of your actions come to see you (narrator) again, but you are not sure if you are still willing to keep doing things they once expected from you.. Like a shift from actively helping to silent compassion. Anyway, that is just me though, I'm delerious-tired, still have another 200pages for that test.. :)


Great work as always!
