My heart is beating But I am not alive. Yet with blood flowing through my veins I cannot claim the sweet victory of death. Rather, the meaningless days consume me Passing by so easily as I whither away. They laugh and grin as time wastes them. But I find it leaves a bitter taste on my lips, That causes me to sometimes wonder If I am doomed to die with my last breath, Leaving behind legends of nothingness, And no one to remember my name.

Oblivion
My heart is beating But I am not alive. Yet with blood flowing through my veins I cannot claim the sweet victory of death. Rather, the meaningless days consume me Passing by so easily as I whither away. They laugh and grin as time wastes them. But I find it leaves a bitter taste on my lips, That causes me to sometimes wonder If I am doomed to die with my last breath, Leaving behind legends of nothingness, And no one to remember my name.
