Crumbs of Nothingness

Standing alone Isolated from humanity Heart cold as stone Touching the edge of insanity Feeling despair Inside emotions churn causing pain Everywhere Crushing defeat engulfs once again Wake from restless sleep to crumbs of nothingness Reality puts paid to hopes and dreams All's left is the face of empty loneliness As the good times crumble, ripped apart at the seams Crumbs of nothingness Lost reality..... Crumbs of nothingness Engulfing me..... In a dark trench of bitter desperation Spiralling fast towards self degradation Crumbs of nothingness bite deep into your mind They mask reality to leave it far behind Crumbs of nothingness Lost reality..... Crumbs of nothingness Engulfing me..... Dark thoughts now flow Festooned with anger still unbroken As madness grows Filling thoughts up with screams unspoken The only sounds Shallow gutterul breaths are rasping Heartbeat pounds Wringing hands clenching fingers clasping Wake from restless sleep to crumbs of nothingness Reality puts paid to hopes and dreams All's left is the face of empty loneliness As the good times crumble, ripped apart at the seams Crumbs of nothingness Lost reality..... Crumbs of nothingness Engulfing me..... Jane Shields (C)
