End of All Emotion: Untitled 1

I remember that day

Like it was tomorrow

I witnessed the death

Of Joy and Sorrow

Not of me

But of the race

The day that changed

The human face



Vanity was the first to fall

For it was empty after all

And Pride there with it went

To face the same punishment

Needless then was Humility

It breathed its last in front of me

Shyness fell without a sound

And Confidence could not hold its ground

Happiness and Joy thus entwined

The hands of Fate they could not bind

On that day they were done in

Never to return again

Its own hand did in Depression

Destroyed itself, as did Aggression

Calmness went without a fight

To step into the blinding light



All the rest they died that day

...each in its own fitting way

One was left with beating heart

It was with us from the start

It was the cause of our creation

Still it stood this conflagration

Love I beheld as it still burned

By this emotion I have been spurned

I could not bear Love's taunting presence

The lack thereof my very essence

The act was done with no feeling

Love was sent backwards reeling

Fighting til the very end

The mortal wound it could not mend

On the day Emotion died

Love, my victim, was nullified
