Once Upon a Time
Quietness,
 eating away at my heart.
 Solitude,
 threatening my existence.
 Emptiness,
 filling me up with the cold.
 Loneliness,
 Chilling my deep-buried soul.
 
 Time.
 Day in
 and day out
 for every 
 hour to hour.
 Never-ceasing to fail 
 in isolating 
 me from the Others. 
 My raspy voice, 
 unused breath,
 my 
 words 
 melting 
 like dew in 
 the early sun.
 
 Unseen,
 unseen through the rain,
 through sleet and snow.
 Unseen in the light,
 unseen in the dark.
 I’m an empty soul,
 wandering,
 a nothing,
 a no one.
 
 But I was someone, 
 once upon a time.
