Poetry Corner - Isolation & Impossible Dreams
POSTED 18-SEPTEMBER-2002
Isolation Isolation I try to walk away Lock away the thoughts of you I run away, so far away And when I stop, I found I’ve not gone anywhere. I lock myself in and I cry Over memories of you Your scent, your touch I still taste your lips So soft My memory is dancing with you. I cry out And run away So desperate to be alone A small part of me weeps The truth I won’t see I want to be alone with you. Shut out the world Shut out everything Yet you found your way back in. Maybe it’s just you never left Maybe it’s me who kept you in. Empty room in my mind Walls barren, so bare And I sit, and I cry over you But your shadow remains In the corner where I left it I can never be alone Never with out you. And I scream out my frustration Try to banish the ghosts in my mind The walls shatter and the world rushes back in With colors and sounds and sights The white noise drowns out my thought And I turn to realize You are gone, you are gone In the face of the world You’ve left me. So I sit in my room The one in my mind And it no longer has any walls And I deal with the pain And the loss And know I will never be alone. My mind is so crowded With things to see I can never be left alone And here I remain The last tears still falling I’ll never be alone I so wanted to be alone. No thanks to you I can never be alone.	Impossible Dreams Impossible dreams Push me higher, Higher than I ever dare go. The clouds change as I go through them Lose substance and slowly disperse I reached as far As I thought I could go Still yearning to climb ever higher But I saw not the steps The great ladder you gave me That led me to the stars. Impossible dreams Told by you, push me on Higher than I ever dare go And the height makes me dizzy Light-headed and free As the mundane spins out below. I was in the ocean Swimming desperately towards the light Lungs burning in me Longing to breath To break surface To begin to fight Now impossible dreams Push me higher Than I ever believed I could go And the world keeps on moving without me Can’t even see where I go And the wind, it pushes me on And I feel your warm hand in mine And our impossible dreams keep us floating Above what used to be mine And I look back one time And I smile at the thought Of the ties that had held me down. Our impossible dreams destroyed them Though they never really were there Our impossible dreams freed me From the ties I had bound To keep me safe And on the ground Ties I created By not daring to dream And now that I do I’ll never come down.
