The burning torment in my chest
Is nothing to the agony
I've touched
Or the emptiness I've held
Not only in my heart and body
But also in my life
And in the abandoned promises
This ruthless world has aimed to make
But they go nowhere
Much like this stinging tear
That ignites my cracked skin
Causing even more wretchedness
For me to bear
Can I attempt to tame this drop
Of flaming saturation
Or will I fail once again
As my eyes run dry
And I am left hollow?
Unfilled seems to be
The continuous answer I am revealed to
How ironic it is
That I have so many tears
Hidden inside
And still unoccupied I remain
This paradox is sealed
Behind a blank meaning
Which I can run after
For a lifetime
Looking beneath the rock
And above the ember sky
Meeting those I've been forced
To decline
And I would still
Find myself in oblivion
Can I put forth this endeavor
Or will I fall once again
As the air grows brown
And I am left bare?
Useless words
And insignificant prayers
Complimented by
Forsaken dreams
And disregarded necessities
I have discovered
Are all that make up
This vacant
Nothing
Of me
