Lone Figure

by Halley Kat - Cancer

A lone figure beckons to me
standing amidst the chaos surrounding him
Calm and serene, a faint ghost of a smile
that never reaches his eyes

Life flows all around him
never seeming to bother his presence
no one aware of his existence
or what his being here may imply

He intrudes on my sterile serenity
pulling and tugging violently at my consciousness
though I resist with my entire soul
his force demands my attention
my absolute being
he demands

To regain my haven of  bliss ignorance
to go on about my life unknowing
to never discover the randomness of fate
to never understand his intentions 
of what is next
to fear every waking breath
to never know the meaning of this life
is what I fear

I must escape his madness
