A heart echoes
and I am here.
The voices of
the past simmers,
and I am gone again.

What drives us to love?
Yet we are pushed
away from it all.
To sudden and to quick
she is here and I
am forgotten.

My burning eyes flicker
as the dust collects
with broken dreams.
No longer lusting
for the love that is
promised in wide screen
I struggle on.

With happy smiles
and fake luring suggestion
I linger and struggle
as the world seems to
try and brain wash
my timid blank mind.

Slowly at first but
quickly I realize that
nothing is comfortable,
and nothing is sane
then me.

Me, all alone and me
the driving force.
