Blank

The memories were as blank 
As I have ever seen them,
The blinking light above my empty head
Has been filling the void in my heart
When my pen is laid to rest,
And my heart put to the final test,
I’ll hope to see,
Everything that I had wanted to accomplish
Come to the forefront,
Everything I have wanted for you
Shattered, and dare I say, I’m glad it did.
Am I coming or going, not even I know,
The road is fairly long and patted down
By years of weary feet and hearts 
That match,
The last rest stop will never come,
And the parking area is empty,
For road blocks have been put up,
If they’re there, why can’t we get to them?
Because if life was meant to be taken 
So seriously, we wouldn’t be able 
To live to our fullest,
Breathe when we thought it wasn’t possible,
Feel when nothing has been able to touch
You for years,
And fear when needed,
And above all else,
Love in the place of hatred.
Those road blocks are there for our own safety.
Do you feel safe yet?

I really like this one. If I had to choose a favorite.... well, let's face it I don't think I could choose. But maybe a top ten... I love the way you're sort of pulled into reading it from start to finish. Very good! I love it.

...how can I be lost, if I have no where to go... Metalica - maybe we are all lost

Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
