[bodytext] => I've been wandering around this hollow chapel Searching for that feeling I lost so long ago At a time in my life when the air was pure and the sun still knew how to set When every breath I took wasn't filled with the despair of my yesterdays But the wedding bells ring out like shotgun shells inside my mind And I realize that inside this chapel there is nothing for me to find The road I have been traveling on for so long Is the road that leads to nowhere, except a place in which I don't belong I've wasted so much time searching, yet the years feel just like hours As I stood here waiting, clenching a bouquet of your favorite flowers But you never showed up, you never came to find me And I watched the petals fall from the stems with each passing day Just as I felt the pieces of my heart crumble and break away Shattered, I stood alone at the alter, humbled by my loss Nails driven through my wrists as I nailed myself to a cross Beside the shadow of who I used to be A cold, fractured silhouette of me Reflecting all the elements of life that I once could never see But with my eyes now open wide I see that this tragedy was merely a scratch in the mirror of my destiny And this cross I wear on my back represents hope As I watch the sun rise I realize that it no longer needs to set For it lights the path of a brand new road A road to better days and peace of mind The path to what I have been searching so long to find Closure to the wounds that lay open on my heart Step by step away from the feeling that I once knew Resting in a place so far from you... ....The hollow chapel.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
