A Life too Long

Once upon a lonly place,
now devoid of time and space,
there dwelt my heart.
now its empty and alone,
the cold of space to fill my heart of stone,
there is no place to start.
emotion has dwindeled, and then died,
silence rings within my soul, and I find that joy has lied,
hope flickers like a flare, soon forgotten, never there.
the pain is gone, and with it love,
prayers find no love above,
and i find that each day is almost more then i can bear.

I live a life in a invisible prison,
trapped by others vision,
never to be free.

whatever life this is i'm living,
no matter how much or little i'm giving,
I can never be me.
