A Spark Emits
My eyes are open,
Heart is cold,
Body broken,
Growing old,
My soul is faceless,
I lie here dying,
How can I face this,
Never crying,
"Open back up!"
I scream to the mirror,
At a face corrupt,
My ears can still hear her,
I look down the hallways,
Of an empty house,
It seems as always,
Without Devout.
A spark in me flutters,
It quickly dies,
Another one starts,
I close my eyes,
Hate begins,
Depression gone,
Self suppression,
And on and on,
"Get a grip!"
I tell myself,
I've placed myself,
On the bottom shelf,
I walk though my house,
Like a fool without reason,
Looking for nothing,
Committing self treason,
To the point where I say,
"Enough is enough!"
"What hell is your problem!?"
"Your life's not rough!"
"Pick up your chin,"
"It's time to move on!"
Yet I stagger backwards,
Inspiration gone,
Then something happens,
Something worth trying,
Something to hope for,
Other than dying,
A spark emits
My eyes then open,
No more hate,
No longer broken,
No more pain,
No more sorrow,
Gone with today,
On with tomorrow.
