A Poem: In Solitude.

In solitude,

I stare at the walls,

The cell that surrounds me,

The chains that confine me,

Filled with a deafening silence,

The sounds that once made me smile,

Faded,

Lost,

Sadly,

Now gone,

Hello old friend,

In remembrance,

It’s been a while,

For so many years,

You were the one who brought me back,

My guiding light in the darkness,

An island of clarity, 

Of peaceful calm,

An anchor when I was lost at sea,

Adrift in a raging storm,

When I felt dead inside,

My promise to you,

It kept me alive,

Now,

It’s empty,

Cold,

Alone,

Nothing lasts forever,

Time takes us all,

Even memories begin to fade,

As the years slowly drift away,

What is left,

Just broken bricks,

Crumbled stone,

This place,

This abode,

In solitude,

No longer a home.
