Helpless

The sun burned overhead,
Competing with my passion.
I sat up from the bed,
Hiding my dissatisfaction.

Time became an immovable rock,
As the river of thoughts flow around.
Emotions kept under lock,
The lost hiding from the found.

The room sways and spins,
As I watch myself.
A whale of a time, flapping its fins,
As the crystal heart falls off the shelf.

The world wanders, lost and lonely,
As people live on, without notice.
My mind comes to life slowly,
As my emotions come to focus.

I watch myself, there I lie,
As the stars say goodbye,
All I do as doom is nigh,
Is just lie there and cry!
