Bewildered in my own dissolution Never thought It would come to this As I stare down the barrel of the past 22 years I can’t seem to find myself to be missed For so long I have laid Scattered like a sheet Like a ghost throughout the hallways No eyes to ever meet How much my soul has lust after She who is not mine A friend to call upon In the darkest of my nights For there is no escape in this entrapment Which binds me to the bed Forced to sit and watch others enjoy their pleasantries While alone in this room I have bled As I hold out for what may not appear Gripping on to the edge for I feel it so near I wait for the sweet caress of the morning to come Only to arrive at blackening of my very soul What I begin to lack in empathy I make up for in shame So much this has taken out of me There’s so much I wish to say As I sit alone in misery Watching my youth slowly fade What he gives   He in turn takes away For the world has been so callus Never is anything free What it rips from your hands It only replaces with its vile deceit Nothing more do I want from it For so long it has remained the same Take me away from it all Release me from this state

Cadaveric Spasms
Bewildered in my own dissolution Never thought It would come to this As I stare down the barrel of the past 22 years I can’t seem to find myself to be missed For so long I have laid Scattered like a sheet Like a ghost throughout the hallways No eyes to ever meet How much my soul has lust after She who is not mine A friend to call upon In the darkest of my nights For there is no escape in this entrapment Which binds me to the bed Forced to sit and watch others enjoy their pleasantries While alone in this room I have bled As I hold out for what may not appear Gripping on to the edge for I feel it so near I wait for the sweet caress of the morning to come Only to arrive at blackening of my very soul What I begin to lack in empathy I make up for in shame So much this has taken out of me There’s so much I wish to say As I sit alone in misery Watching my youth slowly fade What he gives   He in turn takes away For the world has been so callus Never is anything free What it rips from your hands It only replaces with its vile deceit Nothing more do I want from it For so long it has remained the same Take me away from it all Release me from this state
