Catlin Kehoe

There you stood,
Stunning and bright.
You looked brilliant,
In the glare of the moonlight.
...

I'd give you the moon,
If that would make you glad.
Because lately something is wrong,
Lately you've been sad.
...

There's something about you dear,
Something in your smile.
I don't know what it is,
But it could make me run a mile.
...

It is said that money can't buy happiness,
But I have to disagree.
Because my ticket to that carnival,
Didn't come for free.
...

I remember back then,
When monsters lived under my bed.
There was a whole world under there,
Where creatures lived and dragons fed.
...

I wave to you in school,
And you don't even see.
You don't even know,
That nobody loves you more than me.
...

Half of me was missing,
And I could not understand.
I went through life in sorrow,
Turning my heart to stone then sand.
...

Have you ever slipped into the cold dark nothingness that is obscurity?
Have you ever climbed so far in life only to see it all come to a crashing halt?
Have you ever fallen for someone who wasn’t there to catch you?
Have you ever woken only to realize that a life you once cherished has spun out of control?
...

Where is my compass and map?
Where are my buoys and signs?
Where is my guide through this madness?
Where do I exit these mines?
...

How did I get here?
Where am I?
What happened to me?
When did I lose it all?
