Porcelain Figurine

Here rest the fragments of my mind,
shattered and strewn about the floor
I'm so confused and so lost
Where am I going?
Where have I been?
Why did you leave me behind?

My memories once had such meaning,
they kept me so safe and warm
But now they linger and haunt me
What will I see?
What have I seen?
In this topsy-turvy world, I'm only dreaming

No wonderful moments can bring me joy,
my loved have all packed and gone
They've given up this foolish battle
When will I live?
How will I die?
A vagrant in time, I'm still just a lifeless toy.

Author's Note

just a little piece I wrote one evening in the rain.

Questions for there are no answers at the moment... at times that's the best time to reflect... I see you said you wrote this while it was raining... the flow is represented in the lines... not lifeless... just a passing void in your life... we all can agree on that...

[L.M.Warde]

On rainy days I tend to reflect inwardly. This piece I really wanted to capture a more depressed emotion, though I didn't really try for it. I used to focus more in downtrodden writings so I believe that's where most of this came from. Thank you so much for the review!
