Emptiness
Emptiness is space meant for purpose.
Memories of the past never belonged here.
Without it I'm meaningless.
Emptiness is used as my only protection.
Against my very own reflection, my mask
I wear with pride.
Karma, karma.
Has finally caught up with me.
Deep down I know I deserve this.
Emptiness was the greatest weapon ever given to me.
I'd wield it with such flawless effort every time.
Till you came along.
Emptiness has turned its barrel and pointed between my eyes.
My memory of you only sinks in absorbed.
I'm not ready to die.
Karma, karma.
Unable to break free.
Kill this feral beast within me.
Hush, hush.
I won't hurt anyone again.
I'm willingly for sacrifice...

Oh blue, a lovely piece on karma.
That first line kinda says it all, to me ;-)
Small things, if I may.
*I'd weld it with such flawless effort every time
(Did you mean the verb here to be ..."wield"....?)
*Emptiness has turned it's barrel and pointed between my eyes.
(The word "it's" here...needs no apostrophe .....maybe?)
And last line....adverb doesn't quite fit there...?
Cool effort!
Love this. Do pen on :-)
Cheers
