Abyss
My tires
Treading
Into the pavement
Rhythmically
Hitting the lines
Of the sidewalk
Darkness
Surrounds me
A single path
Leading nowhere
Through an abyss
Color
A foreign word
In this vastness
The opposite
Of the world
I used to know
And now the one
I only dream of
Loneliness
Is my biggest enemy
Speaking to myself
So I don’t forget
What a voice
Sounds like
My raspy voice
Covering the sound
Of my dying
Heartbeat
Which only reflects
My thoughts
What’s there to live for
Anyways?
Lies
A common thought of mine
Feeding myself
Fake hope
Fake endings
Saying them so much
I almost believe them
To be true
