Dead on Arrival

by The Queen of Spades   Nov 19, 2007


Functioning on empty,
I burn...slowly, yes, I burn
The darkness swindles me senseless, softly
Agony enjoys my frown
Now you ask me to join you in life
How can I, when death has protruded my soul
Forever is just a collection of letters
Creating a void in my moth-filled pocket
Into this abyss called society
I entered
Never more do I care to return
It is a sham, a joke, and I choose to recall
Like an unloved toy with defects
You try to push me towards a hopeful light
Though I see nothing but ebony embers
From a fire long put out
So unsweet it embitters my soul
Do not ask, I will not answer
I will not cast sadness into your veins
Only know not to question me
I am gone,
Never to return...whats more, I never really left
This place of unrelentless cruelty
I was eternally stuck
Dead on arrival

    This is another emotional poem, it's a bit distractive and I can't understand what you want to express in some line. But thanks to the title (that once again interesting) and this line "Creating a void in my moth-filled pocket." Great job!!!
