Frost covered panes, coat the world in mist
Reaching out to grasp the future just beyond my reach
Drowning in the fog of my clouded thoughts
Everything around me is destroyed
The cold arms of anguish, embrace me in the deathly arms
The lips of suicide kiss my forehead, telling me its time
Time to die again, and again, and again and again
Nothing survives in my world of shadow
Mere memories of the sun lighting me
Arriving to the end of a life as everything continues
Without me, the rest keep on surviving
Ignorant to the misery that stalks us all
Waiting to embrace us all, drag us down
To the hell that surrounds us on earth
Living on the other side of feeling
Watching the world continue to turn without me
They don’t care about me, the man they turned
Into the husk that remains, cascading tears
Turn to dust at my feet, blowing through the trees
Down into the grave, that I dug many times before
Deeper and deeper, to escape the world of pain that lurks above
Wandering through streets of no colour, grey to the horizon
Purposeless in direction, people on either side, faceless
I’ve become so numb, I don’t feel their touch
Become so tired, so much more aware of myself
The blood in my veins, burning like coals in a furnace of hatred
The skin, torn to expose what was once human beneath
Time to die, nevermore to feel, again, and again, and again
