Blackened soul

By StAinedNblood

The light is faded, wasting away
I’m trembling, scared that you would leave me
Trapped in this broken frame
You threw it at me, I remember it well
My tears were dry
I’m afraid to try again

This soul within, is closing in
Blackened and empty, so cold
Words are silent, lost
This red blood on the wall
Highlights my deepest, darkest fears

Cry, remind me that I’m alive
I’m not allowed to leave this place anymore
So you must subside inside
Forever watching my mind slowly die
I’m living in this box of lies
The soul is cracked, torn and bleeding
It’s blackened soul that only cries

I see that I still exist
But why? I feel I’ve already committed suicide
Though I guess I never died
Just a few more slits, I thought I’d be fine
Blood escaping, I never cared
Just watched it fall, as my tears use to do
I’ve found I’m painfully scared
For I was nothing and you were everything
I’m not alone, I wish I could believe this
But everything is nothing deep inside

Just forget me
Pull the trigger and just forget everything
I’m not well, never was, and never will be
I’m sorry that the blood seems real
It’s just a mirror image that’s gone away
