This deals with my life after hurricane katrina
Obliviousto the universe

She sat alone in the dark

No place more to run

Trapped, in a world she doesn't know


For a moment in time

Everything in her life has stopped

Leaving her alone to fall asleep in the dark


Lost in a world

She once thought she knew

The shattered pain she felt inside

And the painful faces of others


Lost in this place

Confused and cognizant all together

Only wanting to be woke

So she can find what she lost


She had searched so hard for her hearts desires

But never found it

Because she looked in all the wrong places

At all the wrong times


When she realized what she had lost

It was too late she had already lost everything

And everything she held dear

Is missing


Not wanting to face her life

She tries to stay asleep

Hoping to end her pain

Before she is awake


No one is really cognizant of life

Till it's gone, just like she never realized hers till now

Alone in the dark she'll stay

Till life is once again easy to bear


Holding a front, to hide her frozen life

Regretting what she never used

And the people she'll never know

And perhaps never see them again


This part of her life as come and passed

Just so fast. It's to hard to comprehend

That she'll never be home again

She'd rather forget that hurt for mourning her loss


Never seeing the people she never got close too

All the memories of life; gone

What do you do when all you know is washed away?

And you can't take it back


How do you make it better, when nothing will?

How do you go one living your life?

It kills her inside to know

There's no place left to run


A tattered heart that no matter what

Just can't be mended

Not after all she's seen and lost

Traumatized with images still fresh in her mind


If the world can take your life away

Why can't they give it back?

She can't even look in the mirror

Because she doesn't see herself anymore


If she ever had a heart and soul

She lost it in the water that

Took her love away


For now she is frozen in time

Till her heart can accept the loss

Hoping to forgive herself

For the life she didn't live

Life as we know it will change

Nothing will be the same

You can't turn back if you

Follow the bunny down the hole


When life is over

It never seems like you can break through the ice

For now she remains lost and asleep

Till she is rescued from the dark pain,

Of reality.
