the depths

I exist in the corners of my mind
and the shadows of my soul
I ache in the caverns of my heart
and the depths of control

I breathe in judgment and assumptions
as I sense it in the air
and let it consume the pain in me
and change it into care

But when that care gets trampled
and turned into grief
and when the love that used to warm
burned all you could see

Hope is turned into despair and hopelessness
for a world that was never there
Dreams are turned into delusion
and illusions rule reality with unending distortion

I exist in the corners of my mind
and the shadows of my soul
I ache in the caverns of my heart
and the depths of the untold
