Lost Souls

Scream if you must
But know it is only the two of us in this emptiness 
And if my words lack trust 
Understand humanity is marked by ignorance.

Am I beautiful? 
Do I seem like I deserve loneliness? 
Like depression would ever find comfort in such celestial beauty? 
Do you question my presence in this ugliness? 

For in your eyes I'm too beautiful 
Like a star for it only belongs in the constellations 
Along with a numerous number of other blue white painted stars
Is it not so?
And yet the same fate has befallen us. 

Darling I am but a facade
For my Visage is as broken as the world 
For my soul is either black nor white
And this heart has holes deeper than any abyss an empty soul can mend. 

You see I have walked where only beasts trod
Where souls are damned and where gods fought
And yet in the destruction of it all 
I still can't find myself
A lost soul lost to eternity and paused time 
And so I found it beautiful and alluring to give in to the darkness right in front of me. 

But you're just like me
The roots as well as the tree
There's no earth willing 
Not a soul so forgiving 
And no God in this oblivion 
Yet we hope in astonishment for miracle healing... 
That our cuts and bruises would seize to exist 
And our desire for death would evaporate and seize to persist. 

But we found each other where souls meet
It can only mean the despair 
Our desire to quell our thirst done its deed.
