The shock sparks a flame

Burning anger engulfs me

For things I cant change

Thrown into the air

Caught in a swirling vortex

Lost and confused

Suddenly falling

Into the deep cold despair

I begin to drown

Eventually

I resurface and stand up

On a new found ground

eyes always went to her first caught by her powerful feminine charms looking through me like I didn't exist it stung, but I never felt envy

silence
a quiet stream continuously quiet Course through everybody's face Adolescence, childhood, youth... passed me quietly

Time passed slowly here, in this quaint prison. It had once been his grandmother's house. He had lived here as a child, slept on the same rotted mattress. The nicotine stains turned the ivory wallpaper the colour of weak chamomile.
