I find myself on a slippery slope, <br />heading for a bottomless pit. <br />My heart has given up, <br />on what it longed for. <br />There is no excitement <br />or up lift there. <br />Just sadness and sorrow <br />to look at and stare. <br />An empty vessel <br />on a sea of dreams, <br />no outstretched hand <br />to drag me out of there. <br />Down I go into darkness, <br />the light above gets dimmer <br />as I go on my ride downward. <br />I am not looking back, <br />too many broken dreams there. <br />The darkness will soon engulf me, <br />and then I will be gone. <br />Who will sing my praises? <br />No one I fear. <br />I will be another empty soul, <br />on a sea that is already full, <br />too aimless <br />to find any way back. <br /> <br /> <br />11 June 2007<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/another-empty-soul/
