Empty

Emptiness engulfs my vacant adornment Full of cob webs and dust, decaying like rotten flesh Decadance has faded All that remains is a hollow, benign shell Dreams have faded Only nightmares left Or worse dreamless nights Absent of thought and memories Drowning in a slumber chamber Full of nothing Comprehension abates Poetic utterances do not clarify What can only be a mystery Shadows keep hidden what must not be revealed The unveiling is yet to come Lack of sincerity amongst onlookers Keeps the waters stagnant The occasion somber Complacency stirs up rage Bitterness accumulates into a fiery inferno Injustice leads to victory Her wrath keeps her afloat
