Lost in the Lines by myself

A Poem by Jacob Welty

Free verse poem comments appreciated

Theese words carry no meaning for me anymore
Just empty lines written by a shadow of the past
Im a blind man wandering through a place I once saw
A place that I once found relief from an empty reality

Words were taken from my very grasp
And though I held on to them like a climber on a cliff
They were wrestled from me right before my eyes

And as they disappeared so did the rock beneath me
The very foundation upon which my sanity rests
Now a darkness covers the wonders I once treasured
Hiding from me what was mine only moments ago

And though I've searched threw the pages that I must have written
I see nothing of my self closeted among the letters I once lovingly placed
I fear that now I shall never find my words again
