Dimensions

There was a space between here and there
I tried my best to fit inside
Nothing happened, it never does
I swam around my indecision
Swallowed me in
And wondered how and when
I began to lose myself
With each passing sundown
Melting away my reflection
As I continued this path
Have I forgotten the way
Took a wrong turn, a misstep, a side show
Languishing in broad emotions
Not meant to last
Not meant to be the all in all
Yet, somehow I find myself surrounded by this invisible barrier
Bounded by what appears to be nonsense
Of my own making
Voices and expectations speak out from the abyss
I know it’s a lie
But I find myself hopelessly sinking
And like a puppet follow the string …
