As Emptiness Fills the Void

Sitting next to insanity,
Shivers run the length of my 
spine
Nothing will be remembered...
And sound is forever strange.

Hyperactive disorder,
Just one more day might do
But still walking in place,
My eyes shine forever with fear

I lay my head down,
A stomach full of aching hurt
Rest here and try to think
The horrors of yesterday 
return.

A darkest, deepest hole,
One which sits on my body
Is for one day filled up
With sacrifice for fleeting joy.
