There Was A Time

There was a time

When I no longer had the will

To care

I floated through life

A ghost

With blinders on

The thumping of my heart steady

Thu-thump, thu-thump

Excitement was rare

No emoticons

My expression carved in stone

You couldn't tempt me

Not a single bit

If you walked in bare

Not a word written

Not a song sung

Not a muscle twitched

Or bell aching to be rung

Is this my life?

No love or strife?

No hate or desire?

No passion for any living soul?

Emptiness is all I saw

A hollowness

I could only withdraw

Further and further

Into my mind

Filling my dreams

Of memories

Of there was a time

When I was young and carefree

Nothing could wipe

The smile from me

Of emotions so intense

All I saw was the color red

Having the time of my life

There was no time for bed

One day as I sat restless

Surfing online

I came upon some verses

My heart skipped a beat

My lips smiled

I wiggled in my seat

I read more

And then some more

Do I dare?

To write my words there?

There was a time

When I accepted the dare
