Loss of my humanity

By Awesomeshiloh

I cannot live
I cannot die
There's only darkness left inside.

Know that I've sinned
Only hatred within
I'm ready for everything to end.

This is my song
Sing when I'm gone
My soul's been dead for far too long.

But when I die
No tears to cry
My empathy already said goodbye.

All you can be
Die's here with me
And I'll let the whole world see.

The evil you keep
Kills in our sleep
And you took everything from me.

So when I die
With bloodshot eyes
I finally see through all your lies.

And now I see
Merely a dream
You never had any love for me.

When I awake
Feel my heart quake
A life of suffering's been my fate.

I am not done
Time for my fun
I'll feel the last breath leave your lungs.

Still doesn't work
Can't escape hurt
Until my grave's covered with dirt.

My last goodbye
Innocence cries
Look for me in my children's eyes.

Now it's so long
My life's last song
I know you're happy now I'm gone....

    "Look for me in my children's eyes," that is a particular piece of imagery that stood out for me in this one. Ciao, T/S Scholar

    Thanks, after reading it again, I felt inclined to edit it. The iambic pentameter seemed to half-assed at first. Hope it is a little better now.
