- Empty -

Empty

A shell of flaking skin
Hollowed out from within
With rotting flesh still hanging
Clinging, trembling
Dripping blood from their ends
I have become empty
Only shapes remain, slowly
Decaying

Fear no longer sustained, so void
Of emotions
I’ve lost the goal of hoping,
To burn desire like incense sticks
Smelling of rosemary and lavender
To keep living, my heart still beating

I have no will
For I am empty
Silently breaking, thoroughly
Noisily shattering
And yet something
Something remains
Carefully watching
prowling in my shadows
Praying
Die

Die, it says spitefully
Crumble and burry in
Your self brought demise
Destructive ways have
Lead to your nightmares
Of falling through the cracks
Of whole sanity
Insanity
I become empty
Die she says
They say
I say.
I am empty
No reasons brought down
To me from the skies
Kissed by holy gods

Hidden beyond a blood soaked
Moon and fleshy clouds sparring
With rabid creatures lying inside
No more lies told by wise nomad man
Wrapped in silky cloth, weaved from
The fallen’s feathers, divine
I know nothing of the world’s beauty.
Bare and raw, too numb to open
Swollen eyelids
I fade like a fire drenched in river’s icy
Sheets
I am Empty.
