Is anybody listening?

By BloodyMercy

Hollow
Abandoned
Deafening
Destroyed
The shell of a man is all that’s left
Attempting
Reconstruction
Hallucinating
Expounding
Again…
The shell of a discarded man is all that’s left
Shattered illusions
Felt so real
Crimson ribbon’s appeal
Denied
Hopeless
Barely hanging on
Screaming
Visceral
Alone
Forgotten

The soul escapes
With his last breath
The last regret

Was anybody ever listening?
