Afraid to die alone,
more scared to be forever
with someone not meant to be.
But what can I do?
Feeling trapped,
like a rat in a cage.
I can’t break free.
I don’t know who to be.
Wondering what I want to do,
who I want to be,
what the future holds
that I cannot see.
Blinded
by what could have been,
what should have been.
And I know
nothing is perfect,
just like everything
is an illusion.
But what is reality?
Am I living in a nightmare or a dream,
where nothing is what it seems
and I can’t find my way out?
The lines are linear,
going forward and backwards,
up and down.
The path is not clear.
The doors are locked
and the windows boarded.
There is no light
at the end of the tunnel.
I am lost.
There is no love
within my heart,
within my soul.
Broken.
And I realize
this is the only way
I can be whole—
by letting go.
