Falling away



I fall away from what is real

There is nothing left

There is nothing left with which I can feel...

There's no where else to hide



I've been hardened by this cruel

cruel

place



With death and solitude

I've been forced to win your race

Now all that's left is you



Cruel faces pressed against the glass

“The whole world

Turns to ash.”



Cold eyes, tearing over me

Cold eyes, inspecting me

Cold hands,...

Chained by these expectations of society

A horrible fault of a girl

A shadow of one so bright and shining

Has been reduced to nothing but a shell



The emptiness that consumes her is never-ending

Ravaging her like a morbid angelic demon

It's whispers so sickeningly sweet yet condescending

Her world is one of darkness and dystopia



The blackened edges of it's end are paralleled

By distant, glimmering hope

Somewhere she can never go, forbidden and disdained



Enclosed...

Silence builds an awful wreckage of a girl

It feeds on loneliness and creates a void

Gray shadows haunt and torment and torture

A teenager that is stricken and broken



There is no sound of happiness and laughter here

The little one has thrown in the towel today

Somber melancholy moods decay the soul

It is futile to hope, and dream, and pray



E[b]mptiness builds a home in the woman

In this girl, this child where hollows have bred

A deepening sea of nothingness consumes

And eats...
