#000000

a flick of a switch

and darkness crept into each corner of the room,

tracing each surface

and caressing each crack  

until each speck of dust

breathed in black.

 

a slight sigh

left her lips

and hung momentarily in the air -

feelings

that seemed so effervescent in the day

dissipated swiftly

as soon as they came.

 

and soon

shadows intertwi...

depression

A cloud hanging above me,

black and thick like a pool of tar,

I don’t think I can go very far,

all I can muster is simply be.

 

Skeleton with a coat of sinew and flesh,

the same wounds keep opening up as fresh,

this existence is mostly void of joy,

the little there is feels like a ploy.

 

Can’t stop pondering death,

maybe it’s all a waste of breath,

too numb to ...

Void Brooding.

I wish the abyss would stop looking back at me.
I look in the mirror and I swear that's all I see.

The only thing I crave is a thought;

Just a simple acknowledgement.

All I want is the hope that you’ll give yourself to me.

So prey upon my flesh

And consume it for your pleasure.

All I want is to wander

In this wonderland of hate.

Voided

Insignificant Insignificance eats at inner ear

Shards of sharp shrapnel strip shreeking skin

Unforseen, unseen, unforgiving,

Protruding, penetrating, pessimmistic

Pain

 

Closed minds opens eyes visions.

Escaping winds sweep, swept

Past's present forgets future's flames

Burning chips, flake, flick, flicker

Crackling crass crackled cracked cracker

 

Whispering Shi...
