Void

Numb body blank emotion

Senses dulled feelings frayed

Life chord severed torn betrayed

Now born aÿvoid I've never known

Blank stiff stare

Focus on nothing

The blur between my severed mind

Can you feel my voids in yours

Can you feel my rage below

Deeper down Iÿpush the pain

Could not foresee the final blow

Tightening knot clenched innards

The numbness ebbs and fades

An anger burns

Ripped from within me bled dry

Drain exit complete

Escape the emptiness

Mindless motions of each day

Here in the after

Nothing feels the same

What was to burn

What flared then broke

Beneath the strain

And to the past Iÿsteer my mind

And sink into my thoughts

For here Iÿsee you clearest

As the present blurs

And slips from vision

But as each day fades to the next

Your place in my mind deepens

Iÿresist, tighten my loossened grip

And feel the void consume

Feel the cruel fade of time

Image sinking, open wound

Smothered flame once burned

To ash descend, lifeline to end

So cold
