void (Remove filter)
#000000
a flick of a switch
and darkness crept into each corner of the room,
tracing each surface
and caressing each crack
until each speck of dust
breathed in black.
a slight sigh
left her lips
and hung momentarily in the air -
feelings
that seemed so effervescent in the day
dissipated swiftly
as soon as they came.
and soon
shadows intertwi...

depression
A cloud hanging above me,
black and thick like a pool of tar,
I don’t think I can go very far,
all I can muster is simply be.
Skeleton with a coat of sinew and flesh,
the same wounds keep opening up as fresh,
this existence is mostly void of joy,
the little there is feels like a ploy.
Can’t stop pondering death,
maybe it’s all a waste of breath,
too numb to ...

Void Brooding.
I wish the abyss would stop looking back at me.
I look in the mirror and I swear that's all I see.
Not a monster but a void I cant escape.
I was born with a heart but it seems mishaped.

All I want is the hope that you’ll give yourself to me.
So prey upon my flesh

All I want is to wander
In this wonderland of hate.

Voided
Insignificant Insignificance eats at inner ear
Shards of sharp shrapnel strip shreeking skin
Unforseen, unseen, unforgiving,
Protruding, penetrating, pessimmistic
Pain
Closed minds opens eyes visions.
Escaping winds sweep, swept
Past's present forgets future's flames
Burning chips, flake, flick, flicker
Crackling crass crackled cracked cracker
Whispering Shi...
