Raging Fires Burn Within

by Lonesomeme   May 8, 2007


I'm numb, without feeling
Hollow within the pain
Agony was a friend of mine
But I sent him away as-well.

I need not feelings
Hopes or desires are lost
Among the fog of despair
Drowning in my own self-pity

I used to wonder how
How could I get to this point
Only now do I realize
It's not the how, its the why that plagues me

Why must I need this void
A void that I yearn to be filled
My search is over
My hole is filled

To the sweet surrender of bitterness
Remorse for my fallen heart
Black and cold is sits on a shelf
Crystallized and brittle from the fire

Smothered many times
A blanket of doom and dread
Covering happiness and hope
With death and decay

Jealousy and rage fueled the fire
Consuming all that was once good
Humor and wit now sins of the past
While hatred and envy now walk on.

    My hole is filler
    [[Erm. "Filler" isn't a word. It'd be "more full."]]

    Anyways.
    I don't really like non-rhyming poems; the flow really shuts off on them and this was one of them. But, I liked the concept and the idea.
