Here Lies.
Here lies my heart
In an open casket
Asleep in an endless slumber
It’s appearance so badly mangled
All that remains is the pulse to keep it beating.
No one came to this open casket.
All but one person showed up.
The one who put my lies in its place.
There lies me. Helpless
Alone
Vulnerable.
And yet at the same time now it is made of steel. Still can you still?
bend it but the contour won’t be shattered
Not this time.
Here lies the last love
I’ll truly wanted.
All others will have meaning
you truly are.
The one that got away
For I want to suffer no more
And end this constant pain.
The casket is closed. No one, too, open it
But you.
Return the key to its proper owner
And if it isn’t you, pass it along.
Don’t make me wait any longer.
This life is filled with space.
Empty space
No matter matters
This void is and endless pit.
This ones a bit dark. You can read it from top to bottom or bottom to top.
