VI
the days come and go;
I'm becoming slow.

my bones are decaying;
from my delaying.

every part aches;
while some breaks.

emotions are scattered;
as I lay broke and battered.

little food to feed me well;
still they say this is no hell...
they don't understand my version;
all they see is my frivolity...
nobody will hear;
all they will do is leer...
no one is here;
to extend a hand....
there is no one that will see;
that there is no one for me...
so I will have to be the one;
to help my own self...
do not look sad;
because I know you are truly a cad...
please do not extend your hand;
I'm not ready to trust...
please leave me to wallow in my misery;
I'm just a part of your history...
so leave like everyone else;
*so tired...
so tired...

every year I watch my love wither;
every year I never go hither.

each contact, each touch;
it burns.

each day is more pain;
each day I wait in vain.

I wait for peace...
I wait for kindness...

the air constricts my breathing;
I feel myself slowly leaving.

the walls are closing in...
is this finally the end?

I was programmed wrong;
my circuits are fried.

I can't process the world's lies...

No longer do I see color;
all I see is grey.

My world is no longer array...

The lines have blurred;
and I can't find my way.

It is hard to get through the day...

A lost echo;
reverberates through the air.

No one is aware...

They say they care;
but they are never there.

Lost causes never get their share...

Silent screams awaken thee.
Gasping breath;
with nothing left.
Dark figures pass;
praying this won't last.
Sweaty palms;
heart filled with qualms.
Someone help;
was the last yelp.

That woman is a ticking time bomb;
get too close and she'll take you with her.
She doesn't care;
as long as she gets her share.
Selfish as can be;
she can't even see.
Wondering why she loses friends left and right;
hastily losing herself tonight.

desolate confusion rains down upon me;
making even the strongest feel wee.

the trees start whispering;
the dogs start whimpering.

solace of silence no longer comforts;
as the mind contorts.

wee little thieves;
can no longer hide their disease.

used to stand as one;
now all they do is run.

fallen apart have they;
no one can pray.

where did HE go?

left to their own devices;
each one is indecisive.

now standing alone;
no one can match their tone.
