I stand and stare as the waves before me crash
Wondering what life rises in their swells
Lifting up high as the wave’s peak
Seeing the light of the sky, temporarily brighter
Only to be pulled back in as the wave retreats
The light fading with sinking depth
A lot like life as we all know it…
With each fall we rise, hoping to skim the surface and catch the light
To one day break through it, shine so bright
Allowing us to better appreciate the darkness by moonlight

Trapped
TRAPPED
Empty shell, hollow, living half-alive
Chosen misery, chosen compromise
Trapped in the past, she holds the key
Captive to your fears locked in misery
Scars that run deep, a heart that can’t see
Blinded by pain, wanting to flee
Unexpected hope, joy brought by fate
Feelings never known, destiny’s soul mate
Shared dreams, secrets, hopes and desires
Enchanted connection, ignited inner fire
Selfishly torn, fiercely pulled away
Tangled in her web, forever doomed to stay
Days go on, time passes by
No longer alive, no spark in your eye
Memories of a joy that once made you whole
Safe in your dreams, eternal in your soul
