[bodytext] => In a blink of an eye, youth fades before me. No final sigh, as if to say, good-bye. Like a candle’s flame, extinguished, blown out by the pursed cold lips of age. The harsh reality that life has passed me by without a backward glance leaves me sitting in the shadows, looking back at what once was beautiful. Where did I go? For I am still here, yet only in limbo. I am caught within the folds of time, drowning by the sands which flow like a rapidly moving river. Left is this shell, a vessel now drained, emptied by the cold grasp of age’s hand. Trapped in limbo am I, destined to walk the shadows, cast out into the harsh snows that lay claim to my now empty soul. 9 December 2004 [comments] => 2 [counter] => 170 [topic] => 61 [informant] => taintedsoul [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
