Draining

There's nothing left to care for

no one to give a damn

no one left to feel the pride

that comes from being man.



There's nothing but illusion

realities that never take

how does it feel to be unfeeling

how much do you think you can take.



There's nothing to redeem us

we are all products of our fear

can we really take the burden

when our ends are drawing near.



There's nothing left to save us

when we've all fucked it up

we've caused our own destruction

the blood drains from our life's cup.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

We are all destroying ourselves in one way or another...

love this line

"how does it feel to be unfeeling"

and this bit

"There's nothing to redeem us
we are all products of our fear
can we really take the burden
when our ends are drawing near."

I like it
tho the end isn't as strong as the rest of the poem


Much Love
