Room To Breathe

Trapped in emptiness....a contest entry.

Room To Breathe

This emptiness encases me
Silent screams in every dream.
A broken room,
An empty space,
Another step in time misplaced.
This waiting game that never ends
The sordid ghosts that time befriends
In every waking hour they cry,
In every fear and every lie.
These hands of time
Upon my face;
A journey into inner space
A broken place,
No room to breathe,
Here in the nightmare I relive
These sounds of silence
Sounds of pain
Looks of fear and of distain,
Distorted in my empty room,
Resplendent in my world of doom.
This world without a true love story
A world of tears
And long lost glory.
In this nightmare I am lost.
All my dreams
Have turned
To dust.
