Mind Soothe

Dust off the dream of redemption
Let go a long forgotten past
My soul turned to gray
Like the air I breathe

Recluse in a dark cave
Residing deep within the self
Avoiding vivid recollections of yesterday
Memories pound like an ache in my head

Ruthless patterns of neglect
Misunderstood zombie walker
Meandering still with blue eyes
Until the soul flutters away

Recluse in a mental cave
Home is a hollow hiding place
Helps to avoid vivid recollections
Memories pounding in my head
Of the dreams I left for dead

Ghost still awake
As I fade out eternally
Cold caverns of speckled gray
Upon the walls I’m written
Forgotten as I passed on
Trust no one
