Never

By TheReap

Living in a nightmare's clasp,
never to return
My life clenched, a deadly grasp,
never will I learn
Answers to questions must be found,
never will I find
Not knowing the questions to answers found,
never off my mind
Always gnawing, mind destroyed,
never ever free
My existence, untouchable void,
never mine to see
Is love the solution?
Never will I know
Just a frayed illusion,
never letting go
Is death the only alternative?
Never. Never. No.
But no one can be positive,
never ever know
Talking may not conquer all,
never 'till I try
Why must I wait to fall,
never knowing why
