Quietly Waste Away

In this blackened room I lay,

My mind in simple disarray.

Buying lies I've sold myself,

For nothing more than a memory from my shelf.

I'm left to rot,

Just as you taught.

Each eye nothing more than an empty hole,

Dealing a heavy toll.

You feed off it,

Like a worm from a pit.

Devouring my sanity until there's nothing left,

But a rumor of a theft.
