Cannot


Dark and musty, vacant smile;
misconception twisted wild;
friendship pure now bittersweet;
should it be till next we meet...?

Silence needed, a heart rended
hurtful honesty extended.
Can the moment be truly saved?
Is all for naught the love I gave?

Ever open... how can I be
when walls do threaten enclosing me?
Shut down complete, the victr'y won;
voices speak it must be done.

Huddled silent, gagged an' bound,
lofty dreams crash to the ground.
Painful memories of failures past,
I cannot win... I know at last.
