Look

I look into the abyss
it stares back at me laughing...
nothing to see
but an empty soul
and the ashes of burnt out dreams

I look into myself
and see the same abyss
endless darkness
nothing exists
except a vast empty void
of nothingness

I look past
the dying color of my eyes
into my mind...
my thoughts rewind
to a time when it was easier to live this life

I look through
my mind to see my pain
my own disdain
the scars remain
an open reminder dashed with salt from day to day

when I look into my heart
I see the disease
encompassing...
all consuming
the pain that feeds on me,
devouring

I look into the future
and I am blind
in my eyes...
and in my mind
my future's my past
with my pain intertwined
