..Employ

By SolApathy

In the darkness
...There’s a comfort
Only those in desperation can enjoy
Employ
Wrapped in velvet emptiness
Sweet caress
The pain has always…
Been the best friend I ever had
Never leaving when all has gone
The warmth of the empty
So strong
Glowing and caring
Never staring
Never judging my self-destruction
Corruption
Depth of despair
My last gasp for air…
You tell me I should care
But you can’t tell me why
Say I shouldn’t want to die
But can’t give me a reason to fight
Here you are
Holier-than-thou
Preaching of my sins to be
Tell me I’m going to hell because I don’t
Believe
You can’t conceive
My hell is here
My only escape
To no longer
…Be

Awesome, very relatable. People always want to act like they know what's right for you, but don't even try to understand what's really going on.
