from high lonely mountain tops.
I want to hurl my fury
like stones
into the sea.
I want to pierce my heart
with a dagger
and offer my black blood
as a sacrifice
to the God of Love,
a vengeful, angry god.
Sanity shatters,
shards reforming into
mindlessness, lunacy.
Like a frantic drowner,
I swallow the blackness,
filling myself with fear,
and anguish.
I am alone in the void,
crying in the night.
I am the mirror that bears no reflection,
that shatters when you touch it,
pricks your finger,
draws your blood.
I am a body with a shriveled soul,
withered
aged beyond imagining.
I am only half alive,
longing for death, yet fearing it.
My life has no meaning without the
ONE.
I am the confusion after the dream, just before waking.
I am all of this.
I am NOTHING.
He’s not coming.
I am lost.
