Consummation

By ANGELSLAYER

Consumed myself today
For the price of a high
Destroying myself
Just to cover the pain

I seem to thrive on deprivation
On self-inflicted degradation

I tried to fill the emptiness
The emptiness filled me
All my senses deadened
Love forgone

I handed out pain with every embrace
Hidden by a mask of apathy
I really just wanted your sympathy

All the negativity I expressed
I felt for myself

    this is very uniquely written. i like the end being two lines. the flow just sort of rolled off your tongue and thats a hard thing i accomplish along with a peice of work that makes sense.
