lost

the stars that i yearn,

reach out to me,

through the light,

that has blinded me,

for all my life. 

the dark sweeps over me,

shadows of my past.

try to convince me,

that i am human.

no one can listen. 

i don’t know what i am.

not in parts, not whole.

always just so alone.

for so long, i lose myself.

where am i? 

my soul disappears,

through the night.

my wings are chained, 

always denied flight.

forever bound to die. 

let me go,

let me go.

burning a life so slow.

my frozen red river, flow.
