Emptiness
White as empty
Twisted life of me
Unending despair is my entombed will
To what nameless Gods I obey?
What I want when I pray?
Untitled image that inside I feel
Spiritual rules to sentence misery
Lethal labyrinth where I sunk slowly
Diluted in spherical and symbolic beliefs
Inert beneath the feet of lie
Confined to a depressive soundless cry
Symphony of sharp chaos and forgotten myths
Inward I see the vastness of dark
Erupting memories of a lifeless past
Oblivion’s healing my symmetric agony
My sane perspectives are mistakes
What Life doesn’t want Death takes
Delirium is the voice of my lost intimacy
Why the tears keep going?
What’s the purpose of life?
Solemn emptiness of being
I want to die…
“Emptiness”
