counter productive
build walls around the soul
self preservation
sad and lonely goal
reach out
hopeful exchange of the heart
visible cracks
noticed at the start
not so wonderful
a star that lost it's shine
what was once so bright
is dim and unrefined
too many little deaths
a tarnished soul to hide
no one to walk with
no companion at my side
no pretty pictures
no words filled with grace
simple dirty hands
age etched upon the face
little to offer
what others let on by
see my reflection
another lonely cry
this is all I am
and all I'll ever be
not so worthy
actions say what they see
all come and go
like voyeurs at a scene
sad resignation
it's all I ever been
