Lifeless

by Poet on the Piano   Jan 2, 2012


Don't worry about me falling behind
becoming a lost artifact nobody remembers,
for I feel like my life has been realigned
to focus on the invisibility of hope.

Listen closer, try to hear my blood pump
it's a cause that is swiftly being shot.
Faith is something I run over and jump
and nothing will spark like it used to.

I wish my heart were made of glass,
instead of sentiment and aching,
then there would be shards to repass
and you would fix me with integrity.

I believe I hold nothing at this point,
all of my shelves have been lined
with the continued use to disappoint....
all my inner walls are being taken down.

You never knew or cared to understand
why should I then promote a life like mine?
I am only following my unwritten command
to never find again- to never rise again.

1/1/2012.

    ^ Those lines hit home for me. I tremendously like your tone in them, a reminiscent tone maybe... with torment hitting at the very core.

    - inners, should be inner.

    - The way you ended that is very powerful, as if ur assuring that he made your life.. lifeless, soulless...
    brilliant.
