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
