Once upon a mind

Once upon a mind.

 

 

A lonely soul sleeps inside my heart.

It has given up on trying to be my star.

The light has dimmed; the finish has begun to become duller.

I have never been anything other than sullen

And now my soul is no watercolour.    

 

 

Scatter no seeds, for nothing will grow,

Inside this black hole that I call my soul.

I cannot take hold of a direction in which to go,

Because I am unable to see ahead, when I am without hope.

 

 

No more, no less;

The same phrase repeats again.

What more can I say when all is gone so far away?

Out of reach, but never out of mind;

Still it lingers at the fore front of a head without design.

Clutter, splutter, mix me with resent;

No chance to repent,

No choice to have left.

 

 

Just left behind, by a love life that has moved on to be happy

And found itself a new home, as I lie inside my cemetery.

Gone from this diseased soul, formed from insecurities.

It has escaped and taken my heart with it and from me.

Now I am soulless and never free to dream without regret.

Continuously delirious,

So easy to detest.

Once upon a mind, love has exploded

And now there is no trace left.

 

 

No Jessica Rabbit to find,

No saving emo.

No happy me;

Just where ego, I go.

 

 

My body moves of its own accord.

I am too bored to give it orders,

When I am busy crawling up the wall,

In search of just one thing that even matters!

Life is no adventure and I am the mad hatter.

 

 

Lost in a wonderland of my own mind’s creations.

I fall down (a rabbit hole) and break an ankle.

I am no longer in contention,

To be a contender for the title of most loved.

Just stuck in the mud with no tears left to wash it all off;

Gone is my chosen destiny…I have given up.
