I walk alone, I walk alone. It's cold, I have no jacket and I am wearing shorts and a jersey. What is this Torture?
I see flickering lights in the distance that grows larger and brighter the closer I get. It smells of smoke. I see a building that is caught by a raging fire that is burning it to the ground.
I start to sprint toward it so I can get warm. As soon as I am close enough to feel the heat it disappears and the building that once was on fire is now soaking wet with water rushing out the doors... I see the building clearly now,
It is my restaurant.
I walk further and I am still alone, I see broken guitars, ripped music and burning lyrics... WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME!?
I keep walking down the road and I start to weep. I see a sight that churns my stomach in joy. There 50 feet infront of me is a guitar store! I keep weeping but this time it is from joy and excitement, there I am inside the store but I cant touch them.... They catch on fire when I try to touch them..... Why am I in this living hell?
I am cold, alone, sad, and pissed off at the world and I walk alone...
Questions running through my head, "Why am I here?", "How did I get here?", "Why does this hurt so much?" and "How can I end this torment?"
Questions running through my head, "Why am I here?", "How did I get here?", "Why does this hurt so much?" and "How can I end this torment?"
While walking the streets I find a rope, I tie it into a noose and start getting ready to end this torture. I string it in a tree, I stand up and,
Am I truly alone or is it just what is in my mind?...
this is soo sad....
ReplyDeleteYou have lots of great dreams.
I hope they aren't broken ones.
Your writing tells a story though.
Soo good.
"Am I truly alone or is it just what is in my mind?..."
ReplyDeleteI think people really do sometimes forget about the people who care about them.
A lot of the time we make it in our head that nobody loves us or wants us around.
That is a fantastic closing to your story.
A guitar store but you can't touch them. Wicked good. This would be a living hell to me. Your dream right in front of you but you can't act on it.
ReplyDeleteGood job.
But dude. To answer the last question, it is just in your mind. I promise, if you want to touch the guitars, just touch the freaking guitars. Geez.
I love the way you portray that you are alone and you don't know why. why are you here? What are you to do now? What is going on here? There are so many questions you have no answer to? Very clear in the way you have questions, which is kind of Ironic, but I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the story you tell with this, it has so much to say.
