Slipping away
Even deeper
Into the void
Getting Smaller
The downward spiral
At the heart of it all

The art of self-destruction
The beauty of being numb
The perfect drug
Beside you in time
Just like you imagined
I'm looking forward to joining you, finally
Terrible lie
Something I can never have

The big come down
The great collapse
The day the world went away
The line begins to blur
Help me I am in hell

At the heart of it all
Right where it belongs
The greater good
The great destroyer

A warm place
Erased
Over
Out


Poem created using titles of Nine Inch Nails songs.

Give me something
Anything
I need to believe
In something

Vicious notes spraying
Their spewing of sounds
Telling me
Pulling me
Pushing me
Taunting me
They are me
Being me
Just me


All I can hear is the mix
Of static
Yelling at me
To believe
In something
Before there is nothing

To believe in

Anymore

— The End —
