• Pale, dull, blue eyes
    Stare into the darkness
    Hoping to find
    What they have been searching for,
    For years to pass.
    The darkness is mind piercing.
    The silence is ear splitting.
    Everytime the eyes turn another direction,
    Darkness is waiting to greet them with an evil grin.
    Everytime they believe they have seen light,
    They blink and the light is gone.
    Everytime they close
    Hoping to see a picture,
    Hoping to see color,
    There is but blackness to see.
    Everytime the eyes close
    And call out for light,
    There is but darkness
    That returns the call.


    I have been sitting here
    In this darkness
    Scince the day I lost
    What I have been looking for,
    For so long.
    Alone I have been,
    Sitting in this silence
    That has overcome my life.
    Everyday my strength dwindles away.
    Everyday my will diminishes.
    I fear that even before I die,
    I will have become nothing.
    Just an object in the way of life's path.
    Inanimate
    Before my body has began to decay.
    Still breathing, but not willingly.
    Forced to live on this earth,
    Though my soul has entered hell.
    I just sit here each and everyday,
    Trying to hold this false pride,
    This false smile,
    Though you can tell by my eyes
    That I am empty.
    Though most do not look into my eyes,
    They only see my face
    And believe I am here.
    They believe
    That I am still alive,
    Though all other signs
    Point the other way.
    I have already died,
    But I have been thrown
    Back into life,
    To live
    With only a thread of life remaining.
    No matter how much I try,
    No matter how many times I wish,
    I am forced to experience
    This world dwindling away
    Faster than my will to live.
    There is no longer
    A reason to live,
    For all has been destroyed.
    I am no longer a life,
    Only the living corpse
    Of a life that was...
