Hollow Eyes

The days drag by each one taking another crumb Not whole anymore Mind and body completely numb Breathing alone feeling like a chore. Wanting to feel something again Hating the ice thats has consumed me inside Even if its just the warmth of the sun on my skin The harsh numbness too much to abide With the risen moon each night I have to consciously remember to breathe Surviving, too stubborn not to fight But this life is over there is nothing this soul needs Empty just a shell this time No one caring enough to help it stop The ending bell so ready to chime Can end it with just one pop Behind each door another chance, that is what i am told No one reveals that where your heart lies There must be a soul for the story to unfold. Hollow eyes...
