Blow away the cobwebs

Fate once again spins her complex web
Again and again and with time once again
Tears replace the early morning dew that adorned the threads of life
Intricately woven with the passion of love once filled with hope
In a mystifying nightmare where the web weaves intrigue and turmoil
Anxieties entangling whispers of something misplaced misunderstood
A maze with no beginning and no end
Like the old abandoned house on the edge of reason
Wall to wall echoes screaming yet barren of emotion
Staircase without a floor damning all who walk alone
Spiralling out of control I lose the vision of my dreams
Reaching once again for something misplaced misunderstood
A nightmare live I in broad daylight
Days pass and then the nights encompass and embrace
You are nowhere to be seen
Your hand left mine in a time and age long gone
Losing my grip only to descend from heights
Nothing but depth at the peak of pain
Looking down upon the paving stones
As I hover inches from the truth
Stop in mid air suspended on a breath
Cracks that remind me of gaps that taunt me
A portrait of my life displayed before my eyes

Lilac Wine
