It is the sun
that shines upon my wasted
inner shell
thinning hair lines receding through
my skull
as I ponder on life's many
trials
and tribulations
I know that the battle has
been won
losing is the least of my
worries now
my heart tattered and worn
my face covered in dry tears
and bruises
as I lay upon the hot mass
of the earth
waiting for it to swallow me
whole
love has given me a reason
to feel
contempt
wrath
nothing ...
mirrored reflections of myself
linger in my
head
so I close my eyes
I can't bear to see what I've become
what's left of my
soul
there is an empty layer of
hate
anger
tears
and I choose not to care anymore
