Love Poem: Out of Touch

Out of Touch

Trapped in a world of insecurity
unable to relate to modern ways
fighting the tide, no where to hide
banging my head against a wall again today.
Tears inside at the brim
I choke them down as I pray
some slipped out once again
I cannot walk away.
My heart is fraying, and the pain speaks to me
Sometimes silently saying
take care or set me free.
Smoke rolls into the air
another time of pain to share
I beg in defiance allow me
to once again go there.
Love and trust are not companions
worry and deceit pal around
past, present and thoughts of tomorrow
make a crashing sound.
Escape I see the options
the scale is tipped to a negative stance
I am upon my knees, asking please
can you give me one last chance.
