A Few Words

by Jayme Danielle - Gemini

In this tainted light
I blindlessly search for sanity -
Or atleast something
That will comfort me

How can you possibly reach
For something that isn't there?
Is it time for me to give up
And pretend that I don't care?

I can't seem to do anything
Except to live in old memories
These past eighteen years
Have definitely got the best of me

Could you possibly know how it feels
To live in a world so cold?
Loneliness doesn't even come close
To the slight sadness that I was told

It is more like a thief
Who has stolen your soul
While running away with your happiness
And taking a part of your whole

All I need is a few words -
To let me know I am real
To remind me I am not forgotten
And change the way I feel.

Reason for writing:

    I recently moved from living with my mom for 18 years to living with my dad, and I miss everything and everyone that is familiar to me back home.
