why thrive in happiness
why be filled with warmth
freezing negates all feeling
emptiness never to be filled
no one is real
nothing is real
motions, actions
i see through
every motive forged
selfishness leads you
every action taken
is littered with motives
nothing is sacred
nothing is taken in time
everything thrives in suffering
everyone is at a loss
at such a loss i hope this world never wakes me
lulled to sleep one final time
praying my heart stops beating
until something gives me a reason to live
how many kisses of steel
will bring this light to a close
how many steel kisses
will drain me of all that i have
i’ve been trapped behind these veins
self expression is not enough
i can only see through the gaps
the cracks of what i wish to be
there’s light on the other end
i want it to hit my skin
i’ve had my arms out in the dark for far too long
hoping to touch something
only in death can i express myself
only in this expression, only in death
