Into Infinity I Carry Insignificance

These ragged shards of breath, catching in my lungs with grasping fingers of jagged glass Howling tormented wolves in my mind, clawing and shredding the last remnants of the last Desperate attempts to live, temerarious in the quest to quench their thirst with blood Monsters lurk in the shadows of my eyes, hungry for my conscious suffering No rest, no peace, no sleep for sinners, servants to a greater ill, mindless revolutions of pain Spinning endlessly in space, reaching for a cold and distant sun without the light of lies A frozen, broken waste stretches in the expanse of my eyes, terror stalking ceaselessly In every hidden juncture of the labyrinth of my mind, dark embodiments of hatred, shame, and anger My eyelids are weighted, crusted in the sands of the blazing desert of my soul Scraping away my retina with every blink, gasp, choke for air, smothering and breathless Into infinity I carry loneliness, alone, unwept, unsung, swept into the vast waters of time Drowning in the enormity of insignificance I wait, sleepless.
