Wearing Thin
I stare blankly at the sky,Watching the moon slowly rise,
Thoughts inject themselves in mine,
My heart is pulsing just to cry.
Lonely on this roof I stand,
Long ago these thoughts I banned,
Feeling heartless and so damned,
My guiltless smile is a sham.
The soul inside is just a ghost,
A tattered painting at the most,
My thoughts still wander from their host,
The lack of life is what they toast.
My guilt is that I compromise,
Did my deed, ignored the wise,
Now I'm guilty in their eyes,
Apologize but I'm too shy.
Where to start where to begin,
Will I recover from this sin,
I feel love but won't let it in,
My time is short and wearing thin.
