Darkness

I ponder in the dark emptiness of this room
It is in silence
That I can the hear the cracking of my own heart
Slowly fading into the solemn color of gray,
Tied between contradiction and reality.
I remember the past
But the present and future
Seem too far away from my grasp
All seem lost in this vivid past.
Once upon a time ago
I lived my life full of dreams
Wanting and needing what my heart desires
But everything is not always as it seems.
The hopes, the dreams, the memories
That surface at times like these
Are filled with ambiguity and uncertainty
Leading to chaos.
The confident and brave woman
Is a masquerade I role play
For the happy crowd
In the outside world.
Nothing can be known with certainty
Even this thing called love
As alike as fast gravity waves
Claiming his prey
Over the surface of sea.
Yet I am still amazed by its beauty
And hold it so dear to me
As I sit here and ponder the darkness.
