no one ever goes
strangers with blank faces
on a treadmill belt
where are we going
the words from a silent scream
echo from the walls of buildings
at someone never seen.
Circle of uncertainty
lies in a shadowy grave
no one seems to care
nor want to save
the life that is lingering
in-between no where.

I love you is such a simple phrase
to express our feelings towards one another.Pledging the feelings that we feel,hoping all the time they will be returned.I love you, we shout itfrom the bottom our hearts.Eyes wide open as we advancethrough the gates of Edenand the pleasures that wait there.We consume ourselves with firethat would outshine a thousand stars,when we say to someone…
