Daily

Even though my world has stopped, the world around me keeps going
Even though my muse left me, these poems keep flowing

Time standing still as my wounds bleed
Seconds seem like years as I grieve

A single piece of sand, lost on the beach
Afraid I'm so far gone, I'm out of reach

Clouds fill my darkening sky
I can't help but ask myself why

Stars twinkle, laughing from above
Mocking my lack of love

I retreat inside myself as the night envelops me
No longer eager of what tomorrow will bring

A new dawn, birds happily chirp
I put on my mask to hide the hurt
