Chasing...Nothing

Chasing dreams
Chasing clouds
Chasing Love
Chasing heartache
Chasing... a dream

Sunlight in disguise crept into my window
Seeping into my eyes one morning
I was...blinded

Blinded by what I thought was love
Darkness quickly came & wrapped its hands
Around my sunlight,Choking it limp

The sky turned dark
Winds blew severely
Birds scurried far away
I heard crying, screams & pain
I looked down and fell to my knees
Watching my heart crumble
Into more than a million pieces

I looked up with tears flowing from my eyes
Only to find... a body with no soul or spirit
Peering down at me with no remorse or regret
This physical form walks over me, stepping on the pieces of my heart
Walking toward darkness, I fell to my back
And gave in as the ocean's biggest wave consumed me

Love...left me to die

Chasing fantasies
Chasing stars
Chasing heartbreak
Chasing you
When I really was
Chasing...a dream
A dream that would never come true
Chasing...Nothing

Very deep and it has true meaning. Keep up the good work on that poetic flow. Sometimes us women can identify with the charcter or image of a person or expression is saying. Your poetry could be food for the soul and stimulation to the mind. Go gurl! go gurl!
