stuck in a void ( helpless )

By sanglante

they say you'll always have your memories,
but mine have already faded.

and it's all i can do not to fall apart,
because if i do i won't be able to pick up the pieces.

i can't feel much anymore,
nothing seems to break through this emptiness.

it's all i can do not to be swallowed by it;
i should be terrified.

but i'm tired,
and i feel so lackluster.

everything's so fuckin' frivolous --
so why can't i be part of it?

i'm torn,
and everything's breaking.

caught between the easy and the easier,
i'm simply stuck.

i can't move, i'm treading through no water;
the air isn't thick enough here.

i can't breathe, and it hurts
and i don't know if i can bear it.

i can't cry,
too afraid a void will devour me.

i'm changing,
everything familiar is leaving me.

i don't recognize the face in the mirror anymore;
it's torturing.

no one can save me --
there's nothing left to save anymore.

    Very sad and heart wrenching I hope that as you change you begin to see things in a different light, I'm still waiting on that myself.

    there's no mistaking the crushingly heavy and desolate feel of this... thoughts and emotions conveyed so well and precise.... it hurt to read
