7.24.10

Crawl into my brain again,
Searching for the books I've lost.
Books I own, but never wrote,
Books I treasure at all cost.

Cob webs strung from side to side,
Proof that Silence owns the space.
Eclectic decor has changed so much
Since I last was within this space.

Rhyme and Reason long have left,
Abandoning me to find my way.
Lost among my genius and fears,
I breathe in deep and resort to pray.

Once I had a map I'd drawn
To navigate these catacombs.
Slowly, rotting pieces of
The organisms that I've owned.

Once I could run down these halls,
Grabbing pieces endlessly,
Forming truths as I continued
Storing more, relentlessly.

Am I to forget these days?
Should I leave and move away?
Is it time to let it go?
Have I finally reached that day?

If I board the entrance to
These caves I've treasured since my birth,
Will I give up all I know,
And lose the pieces of my worth?

I don't know what I should do,
Drowning, needing just to breathe.
I can't find which way is up,
Which will leave me lost at sea.
