World you Created

You are so far away from yourself, I don't recognize you.

Lost in the darkness of a soulless pursuit.

I'm holding a candle for you, don't you see it ?

But its madness consumes you.

I miss the man I use to know.

I feel Love slipping through my hands like fine sand.

I try desperately to hold on.

Constantly asking myself, is it worth all the pain.

Too tired to hold on, but not willing to let go.

Tears burning my heart.

Flying away from myself losing sight of my world.

So wrapped up in our life these past several years.

That I forgot about myself, who am I ?

A Mother, a wife, a work in progress ?

How can I find my way back to myself ?

So many questions swirling around in my head ?

What am I without you ?

How do I make it on my own ?

Where do we go from here ?

How do I let go ?

I feel so lost in this world you created.

We are like a round pegs in square holes.

This is not the place we belong.

I cannot break this prisoned glass for you.

I can only set myself free.

This is beautiful.
You should beat him. :)

I love the questions- they show honest you're being not only with the reader, but with yourself. I can't begin to imagine how difficult your situation is; all I can say is stay strong. The second line hints at the subject's ulterior motives; I made one up for myself but I'd love to know what you meant. Great read.
