-Forgotten-

Screaming children go back into their shells.

The only safe place for the weak.

Shield us from the pain.

Our tears form rivers.

Rush us towards the never-ending oceans of our fears.

Learn to swim in the darkness.

Our moods change with the tides.

Forever rising.

Eternally falling.

We grow big only to feel small.

Striving for vengeance.

Finding forgiveness.

Lost.

Forever lost.

The world is an island.

From which there is no escape.

You are alone.

Forever alone.

Forever swimming towards an edge you’ll never find.

The bonds to be broken are illusions beyond our vision.

All is not lost when there is nothing to be found.

We have nothing. Nothing at all.

We have much of that left.

Our empty shells litter your land.

Truly free we are.

The rising tide crashes into walls built to protect you from us.

Our fears are now yours.

Twas a foolish man who built his home upon the shore.

To right the wrongs of this sinking relationship all must be lost. `

Down.

Down.

Down we grow.

Leaving the storms on the surface to find the peace of the deep.

The peace turns to pressure.

Implode under the weight of it all.

Again.

We die.

All is lost.

Fading.

Fading away into the depth of memories long forgotten.
