From Deep Within
I see it all.
People tumble and buildings crumble.
Nothing is left except for me.
.
Sometimes I stumble.
But there's nothing to hold on to.
No houses and not a single tree.
.
I myself am a stranger and led myself to destruction.
I tried to carry the weight but I let go.
.
I fell deep into danger,
Yet not a stranger to the coldness of this heavy snow,
That not only stuck with me
But within me it seeps and slowly grows.
.
"Bury this soul of mine far, far away."
I say.
"A place where no one stays.
A place in which I may peacefully lay."
.
No one replies.
No one appears.
It's just my lonely thoughts
And the slightest twinkle of my tears.
.
Here my heart shatters.
It's here where I remain.
A desolate desert, yet a thunderous rain
For my wandering mind to go insane.
.
"No one seems to care."
A faint whisper.
One day it'll drive me mad.
One day this heart I'll tear.
.
I'll throw it all away one day.
This world that I have built.
It'll simply fade away someday.
If only it'd do the same with my guilt.
.
I suggest you give up and leave.
Something I did years ago,
The moment I let myself dwell and be deceived.
