Tinted Anxiety

by Chris Sheffler - Aries

The storm has come again,
the candle light dances across the walls,
in the cool autumn air,
shadows hover above my head,
but I am still alone...

Sensing a presence beside of me,
I look to see who it is,
to see who has come to release me,
to see who is there,
but I am still alone...

Dreaming of a time,
a time that never was to be,
where fantasies are built,
and always seem to be real to me,
but I am still alone...

A sigh flows from my cracking lips,
though nothing more,
I look once again to these pages,
these pages I’ve written for you,
but I am still alone...

Did you not care to see them,
or were they not good enough,
tell me when would I know,
tomorrow, forever, never,
but I am still alone...

Vivid creations break through my skin,
as thoughts protrude as well,
nothing is real that lives on inside,
nothing that I long to know,
but I am still alone...

The candle’s burned out,
as has my hopes,
I’ll stay here in the darkness,
until you bring me the light,
but I will always be alone...

Reason for writing:

    This is basically a poem about lonliness and love and how the two coincide one another...
