Nameless

But inside these words, so much is lost to the unseeing eye And though my presence remains, my heart bids thee goodbye Closed off to a bitter world of hurt and pain Tears unwilling to come as a smile breaks the strain The one they say that can bear it all Face all their demons and still not fall The familiar one by my side, a guiding hand My worst eney now becomes my only friend I am surrounded, yet the lonliness eats away little by little Until the flesh grows weak and the soul turns brittle And words break like mirrors in your mind cutting with might When the only peace is found in the darkness of eternal night Like acid burning inside and boiling over into an emptiness of nothing In places where nothing pretends to be the essence of something Where need begins and urgency turns into searching, forever wanting Something that has no name, no place, no face, just a flicker of something
