Never Nothing

Crumbling and falling deep... Within my sin My heart sheds tears.. I won’t burden my loved ones Holding the pain inside.. Falling every further Will this black hole ever stop? Will the pain go away.. From past nightmares? The ocean..  a black mirror.. Have my cravings for vengeance.. Stopped the waves? Or has my vision.. Been distorted once more? Raising my hands to the sky And holding my soul in my grasp I fall to my knees My face..  buried in filth Buried in the life-line of one.. Tantalizing my every nerve I’ve waited so long for this To fill that space But all this liquid does.. Is empty me Taking out all the foundation Of everything I’ve ever been I can’t be nothing But everything will get close I can’t stop the sun from setting. Can’t halt the waning of the moon Scrutiny and imperfections.. Thrown and covering me Scarred and painless..  So gone.. Leave me.. For I will drag you with me Leave me.. For I can’t stop the fiery knives.. From tearing at my heart And the black spirits.. From taking my eyes light away It’s already set up Everything up ‘Till now.. Set in stone My mind..  the stone Your deceit and impurities.. The chisel Work your way through It’ll never be nothing.. Written October 21st, 2001 © on Oct 21 2001 12:45 PM PST   10 • 0
