Fading Few Seconds

Cold, winter night.
My breath is leaving me this time.
I’m staring up at the skies
Hoping what I’m looking for, I’ll  find
All of this, it’s torturous
The way we suffer and assume we’ll get out of it.

Stay cautious.
The sun doesn’t always rise the next morning.

They said a storm was coming
Filtering through this world’s lining
Prepare for a massacre that will shatter everything that’s fine
Bleeding paper hearts on cement paved roads
Laid aimlessly, without any clue of where to go

“I’m searching for home”
Is it me, or did the words float into the air from a beating heart.
“Take me home”
I could understand
I just didn’t know how.

Be still. There’s no such thing as home.
I’ve been barricading myself inside a heart with four walls.
Everyone I knew decided to pack up and go
There is no family.
Not a single person I call my own.
There’s only me and so tonight, I’ll lay here and die all alone.

A smile broke out on my face.
As the storm roamed through the world and found it’s place.
A white light took my eyes
Then a pain set in and took my life.

We all lay there, aimlessly without a clue of where to go.
We all want to go home.
We can understand but we just don’t know.

Wow, I'm breath taken by your wonderful art displayed in this piece... we've all had that feeling of solitude... like we have no place left to go...

Absolutely amazing... 100/100
