Shut Off

Life walked out
Leaving behind this shell
Empty, hollow echoes of the past
Reverberating inside an abandoned mind

A heart beats
But does not pound
Pain has cured its optimism
Casting it into the world of the living dead

One soul
A million little pieces
Caressed by the wind
Floating alone into the great beyond

A holy trinity of descent
A downward spiral of dying dreams and wishes
Wrapped in something worse than hate
Indifference
