a poem about chat rooms... I speak in tongues to no one there, In silent rooms, where no one cares. And those who peer through windows clear, Have filtered views of thoughts concealed. I say hello but no one hears, Just words that dance through salty tears, Across the lines to distant lands, Small grains of thought on desert sands. I walk through walls without a sound, Where space and time become unbound, To mingle with the faceless crowds, And read my silent thoughts aloud. I wander through the empty hall, Like a shadow puppet on the wall, No light can ever penetrate, Nor ray of sun illuminate. I seek the truth beneath the lies, With little hope for compromise, Where black is black and white is white, And storm clouds form where they unite. I hope for more while finding less, When sins revealed are not confessed, While hours tick away with haste, And time is all that's left to waste. I search for words I cannot find, To light a candle for the blind, Who wouldn't see it anyway, Or hear the words I meant to say. I yearn for love but wonder why, When no one cares enough to try, And fear creeps in to steal the light, From those who turn to face the night. I cry in pain that no one feels, An empty world where nothing's real, And as I die, I hope to smile, I speak, but only for a while.
