I watch as the world
melts before me.
The rushing river
holds my sense underneath,
Drowning yet still
trying to understand your words.
I remember very little
of what you said, but eyes
Spoke what you could
not.
The looks that broke
my heart, took my hope;
The silence after the
speech, the frozen moment.
I stand surrounded, I cannot
escape.
No sweet relief for
all heads seem turned to me.
I tremble but not from
wretched fear.
My body shakes with
anger; the light of my fury,
The depth of my
despair, the endless road ahead –
A path with no return
and no tributaries to lead me away.
Heart hammering,
thoughts scattering –
The pride I have
failing and the emptiness clouding my mind.
I begin to leave,
those eyes on me and voices speaking.
I hear nothing but distorted
noise.
My body tells me to
run, my mind holds out for some dream.
But my conscience
falls away to pain, the forgotten note within.
These chains I struggle
to break; the ones that you tied me to –
I shall run until
those noises leave me,
Go where my heart forbade
me.
