Timeline

 

Nothing impairs like feelings given airtime,

they imply your thoughts mean anything,

to anyone,

when most just want to be left alone.

Ignoring the sound of you voice

as it talks in hurt tones.

Set up to fail, to fall to life's brutal betrayal.

We call, but we just hear the tone

of an unanswered phone.

We call but all they perceive

is caller unknown.

 

Nothing tears at a heart like hope declined,

putting on airs, pretending everything is fine.

Deny you're scared, fear leaves you queued behind,

account in the red, feeling resigned,

because no one truly understands

the workings of your mind.

Feeling that nowhere

is our destiny underlined,

we march on, unaware

of where we sit on the timeline,

repeating untold nightmares,

just to pass the time.

 

You fill yourself with despair,

kill the ego feeding on your dead air.

Wish you were elsewhere,

you swear and swear,

no-one to hear you share,

and if they heard your screams and prayers,

they would just ignore the tears you wear.

 

Nothing repairs a life of trials so unkind.

Nothing compares to our human side.

If you have signs,

then please,

I don't want to see mine.

Nothing prepares for times great unwind,

and I'd rather spend mine living

than waiting for the hands of time.
