Skeleton Within

among the mist of silence in darkness
that is when I feel the true condition
of the skeleton that cries within

tears drowning already soaked pillow
from an empty thought a minute before
emptiness invades a soul that is dying

knows it's luved by many back
yet sits and wonders why not a special one
who's mark has left a stain from rejection

does the existence of this pitiful soul
really make a difference of yesterday
will it perhaps today or even tomorrow

would it be a sin or blessing
to just not be here at all
walk to the sun and just burn

slowly fade from lives that have touched
confused and afraid of luving anyone
deep inside knowing it really doesn't matter

lives will go on as time ticks backwards
as mind, heart and soul sink deeper into darkness
where even the ones who don't luv it can't reach
