Wilderness within

My breathes are tired
So I tied them to your heartbeat
I am thinking, wondering
What the future could have been?

Alone. Alone. I tread on.
Why the road seems so long?
Why no flowers greet my way?
Why nothing the bird has to say?

Those eyes were like drawing
The skin of gold showing
Were you the man of my dreams?
Or it was my loneliness that put up wings?

You spoke my tongue so clearly
For a moment I forgot, you were another soul!
My bad! My fears are too big-
Of being left or never being kept. .

I distance myself from those dreams
People just want a short company
 I am up for no good to me
Better some psychiatrist, I go to see.

My wilderness, My loneliness,
Am I human or beast within?
Seldom seen, my true self
Where has my peace been stolen and kept. . . ?
