â€¦Reflections of real; I cannot feel

By SolApathy

Rain & stars
The flutter in my heart I can never have
Don’t approach
Encroach
Into my soul
See the darkness down below
Don’t’ want you to know
I’m not whole
Just a hole
Cavity of a man
I can’t even stand
Myself
Perilous
Without a wealth of emotion beyond self-loathing
I am a Silent ocean
Free to pretend
But extend…
Your gaze beyond my surface
You’ll find I have no purpose
Beyond that surface you’ll know
I’m shallow
Just a reflection
Imperfection personified
Exemplified
Saw the truth
Touched the water
You cried
All a lie
Reflection shattered
If I had feelings
…I’d die
