This Room

This Room

by Brandon J. Perkins

 

 

The screams of millions locked inside my tears

as darkness shatters in my eyes

i womder why it had to be like this

all i wanted was to find the one in the dreams i have

when i think there's no one left for me

i cleanse the walls of the stains of my crushed illusions,

and lose myself in my own private drug,

Desolation.

The room smells ancient,

with the feel of antiques that have been forgotten,

or were never remembered,

collecting dust.

Time here is as withered as the smell of age and loneliness,

an eternity in the space of a second,

or a second in the space of an hour.

But it doesn't really matter,

in here.

i pick my withered dreams up off the table,

and brush away the spiderwebs.

Sentimental value.

Maybe someday i'll have a use for them.

a tear caresses my cheek.

the radiant warmth of a distant smile

seems like my only friend sometimes.

Until i remember that smile is now

no longer for me.

and suddenly it seems as though i never knew her smile.

She could never love me

the way she has loved him.

The sadness wrenches welcoming tears from my eyes.

To her i'll always be a shell.

it hurts to finally be shown the light of love,

and then left in darkness,

To watch another bask in it

As it grows even more brilliant than it ever was for you.

Now i'm alone again.

i'm so scared.

Scared this room will be locked tight,

and i'll be sealed inside.

Collecting dust in a corner.

As a spider spins its web across my face.

Author's Note

I'm not much of a poet. Hope this one is alright.
