Have I devoured all that is me? 
&nbsp;&nbsp; Am I alone... lost... 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; wandering these halls?

&nbsp;&nbsp; are my friends,
my voices, 
stand silent...&nbsp;&nbsp;
Were they ever there...?&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Stomach
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; w

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; g. 
Hunger...&nbsp;&nbsp;Unrelenting hunger... It seems that too much life and time has passed between us. 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now, I sit in shadows, 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; waiting for my voices to return. 
Lurking... Rotting... Longing. 
What have I done. 
Why have my voices&nbsp;&nbsp;forsaken me? 

Where is the tower that once stood proud?&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Where is the sea that once raged in my soul. 
Mighty trees in my forest; roots once ran so deep. 
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now termites feast upon them. 
My body,
 now a hollowed stump.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I feel I will always be here...&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Even when&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;no one else is.
