    In the middle of time
    I reach back and ask
    How I got lost
    in the future so fast
    Rewinding years
    till the clock restarts
    pausing to sidestep
    a memory too dark
    caught in a corner
    upending freefall
    stuck in a moment
    that's not me at all
    replay is rebound
    by tractable fear
    where is that one
    who catches my tear....

    It's always been you
    and it scares me so deep
    I'm only myself
    when my heart's at your feet
    But you, as I find
    seeming so far away
    you're right here beside me
    in time-frozen space.
    Where once the reflection
    was blood red and black
    now you're all I see
    as I find my way back.

    Rewind again
    and in vortex descend
    to the flashpoint where everything
    came to an end
    screaming alone
    at the gateway to hell
    losing it all
    but with no one to tell...

    Waking to nightmares
    that pulled me back in
    saved from that hell
    by his loving hand
    A shadow of something
    much later to come....
    fast-forward to you
    where time's just begun.

    It's not desperation
    to walk in the clouds,
    it's just dispensation
    for fighting it out.
    Time moves in circles
    but I'm on the line
    that points me to you
    and the future that's mine

    Tomorrow is here and
    the pendulum swings strong
    In the middle of time
    Right where I belong.

    Thank you all. I originally wrote this about 10 to 12 years ago and just recently dug it up, and then on the same day I found this poetry section. So I made a couple of tweaks in this and several others that I wrote way back whenever and decided to put some of them up here. This one is actually my favorite. It's dark but there is a good ending.... and 'middle' ;)
