Fizzled Out

Things change

I think I truly understand that now

Feelings fade away

along with the memories

The laughter turns to silence 

Silence that chokes the room

The ones you love come to hate you

and everything you once stood for

That innocence that was once so present

is now clouded with wrong

wrong you don't recognize anymore

because if it weren't there 

your life would be completely blank

Don't pretend like you're not lying

The truth is merely slapping at your ankles

Compared to what it would really do

That tidal wave would consume you

if you really thought about it for more than a minute

but that minute is just too precious

too busy being wasted on what you think

is left of your life

Your mind too focused

on being unfocused

So content on being dysfunctional

that now a days anything goes

That glimmer of hope?

It's resting on the peace of sleep

That rush of drugs sending you through the clouds

That kiss on your skin lights a flame

But that's the only flame left inside

The spark you were born with fizzled out

a long, long time ago

Can you feel the heat escaping through your pores?

Or is that just the smoke in the room caressing your skin?

Remember when your soul radiated through you?

When all your smiles were rewarded with anothers?

Its a hard life to live with no expectations

Especially when you've given up on your own

Your Incredible with your talent for writing what your real feeling are all about I getting to know you a little better with every poem read the challenge is seeing the walls come down and your not afraid to show the stranger that lives inside all of us.
