Alive and yet dead inside
With death invading my bloodstream,
Circulating and killing everything left of me-
Leaving nothing to stand in its path.
Dark, cruel and controlling,
And calculating.
Knowing when to strike,
And when to hide.
With no energy and no life left in my heart,
A pitiful defeat is declared
The conquerors hold their battle flags high in the clouds
In victory, running rampant into the depths of my heart
And life leaves my soul,
The breath escaping from my lips
The cry cascading from my soul.
With no one to save me,
Left in a world so dark,
With no one to hold my hand
I venture into the harsh climate,
Rocks fly and scrape at my skin
Tearing the fragile protection
And bringing fresh skin out,
Too young to be strong.
My skin burns and stings as flames lick my body
Winds blowing my hair around in a halo
I make my journey,
Looking for the piece of me that had been lost
My footprints leaving a trail behind me,
Showing my path
Good or bad, right or wrong.
For all to see.
