there are so many questions left unanswered
time has finally caught up and
slowed me down, leaving me breathless
intent to teach me a thing or two;

disturbed thoughts push my dreams away,
waiting to be fulfilled,
my dreams linger around
weighing me down every day;

one by one, i lose sight of
those once around me and
trudge on on my own,
through rain and through sun;

as i pretend to live life,
darkness (silence) engulfs me
painting my heart black
while my eyes continue to
scan the road that seemingly
has no end;
