i stand right here,
in the middle of
the empty street,
next to the semaphore,
whose green light
is on, which
indicates a car
to run me over,
so it can soothe
my pain and sorrow,
and finally, after
a long time, i'll
feel nothing.

Bile grips the gasps of every self-centered ****
They spill the tar out of their hearts onto ****** pavement
Lifeless limbs descend hollowed rooms, to linger over dust
The passing passions left to die in fake laughs

I feel so lifeless, purposeless, passionless.
I'm disgusted at myself for seeking solace in distractions, rather than passions.
How can anyone feel good chasing such pointless things? Are people really this shallow? Avoiding work, avoiding the majority of their life to be entertained at home? Avoiding conscious thought, repeating without reflecting, lingering in selfishness, ignorance?

I've barely been able to write poetry. I don't care for university anymore. I feel like I've only been talking to friends to put on a face, because it's what they expect. I just don't see the point in anything.
If I don't get out of this space, I don't know what will happen, but I'd rather die than live a shallow, miserable life.

Morose, tongue-tied lunatic
Rattles off his hates, watches loves sink
Hypothetical end-on-end
Wrenches life out, a mouth-to-mouth death
Never seeking anything
Never seeing anything
More than the previous
Light

Callous-ridden fingers pull
On caskets long buried and closed
Thinks forever is a substitution for stable, never-changing, never-ending love
Never knowing anything
More than the previous
Light

Shakes the world away
To relive better days
Losing everyone he’s ever replaced
Shakes the world away
To relive better days
Losing everyone who’s ever stayed

Sullies every heart
To stilled blood
Cracked vein
Idle love
