No Wizard in Oz

I wonder where your heart has gone

It took your courage like the sun takes the night at dawn

Left you sitting self-absorbed in the corner

Shaking in despair, self admittedly a goner

No more spark to light behind your eyes

Drowned out by the darkness, your insufferable cries

Lost and alone, you’ve given up

Tormented to the point where you’ve gotten yourself stuck

Cannot fall, will not stand

Clogged in the hour-glass, a clot of sand

Life it moves on, but time it stands still

An obstruction at best, you’ve bartered your will

Close your eyes and pray for death

Still you draw another breath

Caught in a whirlpool of complex emotions

Torn between your love of self and other devotions

Split down the middle, leaking out on the floor

Unable to believe you can take anymore

Pause for a moment my friend, don’t give up hope

Clearly you’ve reached the end of your rope

Take solace in the fact that I bear witness

To all of your life, the joy and the sadness

I may not be part of your plans

But at least in me, you’ve found someone who understands
