The lost boy inside howls in despair and pain
But the world doesn't care, on the outside he's a man
And the mirage he's been chasing for all these years
Is forbidden territory for ever, all that's left
Is a lifetime of contemplation of that most awful word
Redolent of hopelessness, terrifying, soul-destroying
Dripping with implacable finality, painted in darkness
Never

Love & best wishes to all

Hello Jay
DeleteYou might imagine that I was in a thoroughly unhappy place when I wrote this, but, oddly, I wasn't. There was an instance of waking from a dream, but, for the rest, I was actually quite detached, analytical. I still can't 100% make myself believe it, though. There is still a faint glimmer of hope, somewhere at the bottom of my Pandora's Box.
Love & best wishes
