But then I hear a tiny sound

That stirs my mem’ry, brings me ‘round

To former joys. I used to know.

“Dear Anna? hi, I’ve missed you so!”

And I once more do hear that voice

I’ve loved so long, and I rejoice,

I’d never thought to hear them more,

Outside …

The cellar room I once called home

Far out of sight, a site alone

Cannot remain a haven now:

This mouse’s nest now fears the plough

My life’s disrupted, cleft in twain

Will ever I find home again?

I am uprooted, limbs are pruned

My misery no more entombe…

Story is marked as mature

Story is marked as mature

The end I seek, I cannot see from here

I do not know exactly what I’ll find

Or even if I can suppress my fear

To persevere through storms within my mind

-

I started this progression far too late,

Had spent most of my energy before

I realized my sat, unste…

From peak to lodge, too tightly stretched the cable;

It glinted in the dying light of fall-

Fresh sunset. The lone worker doused the light;

As stars appeared, wind moaned in its deep pitch,

With breath of ice. And in that lofty height,

The string of cars …

I have all these feelings now, rolling around

Like the chunks in a hearty, thick soup.

They’re some of them toxic, and some quite sublime

But the mixture’s unstable. I haven’t got time

.To feel all of them, blent in a group.

So I’ll thank you to take th…

Just as it began to boil

My hand was bitten by a dog

I’d always thought was loyal.

I stepped on glass in my bare feet

Where it was safe before

You said, “I’m always here for you;”

Then you walked out the door.

It's time I made a different kind of move.

I'll go pursue my int'rests and forget

That I have duties here. I seek a diff'rent groove

Than I have heard before. There's promise yet!

You tell me to shine,

but as soon as I do-

all I hear is whine, whine, whine..

Tell me once and for all,

what you want me to do,

This request is small.

My hearts on the line,

and my mind is a racin',

Could you give me a sign?

Calm me,

like you used to …

I'm lonely, I'm lonely

I'm drifting away

If only, if only

Friends weren't far away.

I've wandered much longer

Than I thought I would

Forever I ponder

If my choice was good

I want so to reach out

And touch someone's hand

Before thoughts can leach out
