I have ceased to exist in the world I now live <br />My life, a shadow of what I once hoped to be <br />Dead in heart, dead in mind <br />What I felt, I feel no more <br />What I heard, I hear no more <br /> <br />My life, an empty cave on the sea shore <br />Waves of regret and guilt hit against my walls <br />An empty cave, <br />Only echoes of dreams I once had <br /> <br />What I wanted, I want no more <br />I see no tomorrow <br />Only blurred glimpses of hopes and wishes <br /> <br />I stand on the shore, <br />I see a vast ocean of despair <br />The waves wash the sand from beneath my feet <br />I keep sinking in despair <br /> <br />I am dead except I am alive<br /><br />Saviour Machuwaire<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-dead-except-i-am-alive/
