soul bare

Screams of rage
as I sit silently

needing you
or someone very like

life going nowhere
in a headlong flight

where did I go wrong?
you were so perfect

now I long for escape
from all that I know

wanting loneliness
alone, blessedly alone

desiring companionship
or at least respect

time shall pass
as it does, always

doors open and shut
unheeded opportunities

from one, death beckons
promising sweet release

from others, new paths
promising nothing, but change

needing to stop, then gently
reaching and turning the knob…
