it seems to me

by Cynthia - Virgo

it seems to me in this dark, cold place
that the world has fallen at the end of the race

all my life has passed me by
as i've been laughing to the sky

some of us speak in whispers
and some of us hear shouts
but none of us can listen
or know what this life is about

i want to be a screaming soul
shrieking laughter in the night
i want to be the yelling one
bringing shadows to the light

it seems to me, i've faltered
it seems to me, i've lost
and all my life is drifting
and i know what that costs

i've come to you in silence
my voice is frozen, still
and in all my life i've whispered
and am silent, mostly, still

but in my heart, i'm bellowing
screaming with all my might
"it wasn't me who left you!
i didn't stop the night."

it seems to me in this love lost place
the world has come to the end of the race

and all my life is passing by
while i'm whispering curses to the sky

Reason for writing:

    I open my mind, and words fill it...this is what came out.  I hope you enjoyed it.  Let me know, even if you just have suggestions to make it better!
