Chapter 1 - Untitled


Shatter

I hold on to nothing because sentimental value is a trap

I feel nothing for emotions are my own undoing

I live for no one, not even myself because it is a senseless battle

A fake smile hides the despair while lifeless eyes tell my sad tale

I've become an expert at masking the pain but it will never go away

At night I contemplate my suicide

Or cry until I finally find sleep

Then wake up knowing it will be a long day

Soon the facade will break

Its slowly cracking like glass smeared with blood and the traces of tears

What will happen after the smile disappears?

Or when my sun ceases to exist

I will be plunged into an eternal winter

And my blood will slowly freeze

While I stare out at the world with glass like eyes

The pain that can't be suppressed anymore will cover me

Like a blanket made out of my dead hopes and bad memories

For those that earn it death comes on swift winds

I've surely earned it, I long for a release from living

I cannot bear to be here

Watching everything I held dear slowly waste away

With a calm expression on my face

Shatter

Dr_PostalRight, you're way better than Robert bloody Frost. "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood" and I'm a pompous bastard. I like this poem. I feel the need to phrase my compliment simply because of the simple nature of the grief outlined in this work, the total defeat and abject ruin that plagues the mind of the written word.
The only way to hurt a man who has lost everything, is to give him back something broken.
