The Hollow Chapel.

I've been wandering around this hollow chapel
Searching for that feeling I lost so long ago
At a time in my life when the air was pure and the sun still knew how to set
When every breath I took wasn't filled with the despair of my yesterdays
But the wedding bells ring out like shotgun shells inside my mind
And I realize that inside this chapel there is nothing for me to find
The road I have been traveling on for so long
Is the road that leads to nowhere, except a place in which I don't belong
I've wasted so much time searching, yet the years feel just like hours
As I stood here waiting, clenching a bouquet of your favorite flowers
But you never showed up, you never came to find me
And I watched the petals fall from the stems with each passing day
Just as I felt the pieces of my heart crumble and break away
Shattered, I stood alone at the alter, humbled by my loss
Nails driven through my wrists as I nailed myself to a cross
Beside the shadow of who I used to be
A cold, fractured silhouette of me
Reflecting all the elements of life that I once could never see
But with my eyes now open wide
I see that this tragedy was merely a scratch in the mirror of my destiny
And this cross I wear on my back represents hope
As I watch the sun rise I realize that it no longer needs to set
For it lights the path of a brand new road
A road to better days and peace of mind
The path to what I have been searching so long to find
Closure to the wounds that lay open on my heart
Step by step away from the feeling that I once knew
Resting in a place so far from you...
....The hollow chapel.

| This poem is filled with so many different notions...I really enjoyed this piece...it stimulates the brain. The most interesting aspect is that the "Hollow Chapel" is a person...right? |
