Lifeless

Lifeless
Wondering through time, not knowing what to find
A heart without a soul, a mind without peace
No tears fall for I feel no pain, no shadow lurks upon me
No sound shall I hear, only the vision of life
I am now lifeless
My footsteps are never heard, my thoughts never counteracted
Only silence would one hear
Humans never know I exist, passing by with their everyday life
Not knowing what lies ahead of them
If words could speak, and thoughts could flow
Caution would I bear to all
No hope, no future only time will they concieve
For one day, they will be lifeless like me
