It Doesn’t Rhyme

The dawn light embalms a nameless husk

She looks an awful lot like me except for the smile

My loneliness echoes on into the coming dusk

If only I have somewhere to go

I am sitting alone in an industrious world

Staring into the flame of a candle

I’ve closed my mind about the past

Open doors do not always lead to new beginnings

Open doors do not always lead home

This is not my home and I shout to empty walls

While those sad songs keep playing

Set on repeat, again and again; looping

Running over every moment through my mind

Old thoughts, hopes, and dreams lost
I know they wouldn’t last

Just more transparent ordinary hours

I am wishing on stars I have never seen

Believing one day the sun will rise again

I wait in vain for a dawn that may not come

And remain still a nameless husk

Walking amongst million of others

Just like me

Seeking their own identity

No longer wanting to be nameless

Reality shrieks- I am just another face in the crowd
