In the middle of dawn I remain awake
Rummaging through keepsakes and memories
Reminded of moments that passed through time
Those not forgotten and erased
Just hidden in a treasure box to be kept safe
Oceans and different directions
Creating gaps between confidants
However only physical and geographical
Invisible strings of the soul remain
Continuing the tangle and bond maintained
The times may gradually change us
Each thought may wander where ever
But once in a while a soft nudge
Heartstrings pulled back to reminisce, to recollect
And realizing friendships pure and true we hold still

Engulfed in shadows of weakness
Realizing I alone am my own enemy
Tears flow
I tried to swim but drowned
Engaged in saving them
Unaware of my own need for redemption
Swallowed by fear and resentment
Adrift in miseries made
Torments of past nightmares
Haunting my waking hours
Ghosts of forgotten faults
Arose to remind my present state
Time moves but sorrows remain
Enclosed in an envelope of secrets
They wail for release
In my sleep I hear them, I weep.
