Nothing's Changed

Nothing’s Changed

 

 

 

I wish the world could fade as I shut my eyes.

But it only gets more vivid.

The rain that falls from the cold black clouds,

Turns to blood falling as a tear.

   The tear is on my face and dripping towards my shirt.

   It leaves a bloody trail and falls to my shoes.

   My shoes are now all bloody from my tear of despair

   That has fallen from the cold dark sky.

  Another tear is falling; they’re coming down like rain,

  A puddle of blood appears at my feet growing bigger every second.

  The puddle expands and gets bigger and bigger filling up the room,

  And before I can think I must swim through this blood,

  This blood of tears.

  This image disappears and I am able to walk,

  My footsteps get louder as I trample thorny roses.

  A thorn stabs my foot,

  I keep on walking.

  I appear at an icy river,

  I keep on walking.

  I wade in the water, ignoring the freezing.

  As leaves swirl around me, they grasp me in there beauty.

I am caught in there icy spirals, and whirled away.

Far away

A land where you can be, who you choose to be.

This is where I want to be.

But I’m not.

So I open my eyes,

Nothings changed,

Not a single thing has changed.

"Another tear is falling; they're coming down like rain,

I love the description in this piece. It really makes me feel like i was on the journey with you, and i felt the despair when your eyes opened. This is a well written poem. :)
