The Moral Compass

A Poem by Serena

Kinda depressing idk..

Seeking safety in others
Wishing on every possible star
The hourglass of solitude is running out
Seeing visions of desolation
Flashbacks of affliction
Your moral compass is broken
You're lost
Following the stars back home
But to no victory, you’re losing vision
The last light flickers as you make your indecisive choice to leave, or to go

I lose when i love
Walking around with a broken halo
Ripped apart by the threads of our promises
Forgive me for my sins
No excuse for the thoughtless pain I put you through

A threshold of tears held back
Finding joy in a heartbeat

All roads lead me to your door
Breaking into pieces all over again
Still working towards success
Still following that same moral compass

A prisoner to your tears
They swallow you whole
Missing the past and fearing the future
Tearing apart everything you worked so hard for
And trying to forget it all

But where am I going?
Running on love falling into compulsiveness
Unable to think straight when you're hit in the face by jealousy
Tangled in confusion
Trying to pry my way out of the cage you put me in
Causing even more of a blur

History is fading into air
Transparent and questionable
Waiting for something that'll never come
