Tear Infested World
My mind, sophisticated yet so empty at times
Leaving me lost during hours of missing dreams
You don’t believe in me, thus I’m barren
No landscape do I have within my intrigue
I lose my heart words when you listen intently
Trying to identify the meaning of my craft
No hills, no valleys, not even a forest exists
Just emptiness within my dead brain, I’m hopeless
You don’t desire to read any further inside me
For I can’t express reality without insanity
I must be crazy to find adequate words to say
And even then, they are sputtered about
Now you can’t see anything within me
I trip over myself, whatever is left of me
And you can’t find me anymore, I’m still lost
And I wander around, looking for an answer
Somewhere within the landscape, I’m blind
Nothing is inside of me except white light
Blinding you and keeping me trapped within
Now the truth of this world at which I live in
You won’t look for me, I’m lost, without hope
I cannot handle the emotion, I cannot hold life
Now you leave, as you had to do, and I nearly die
A world of nothing of which I reside, I cry
Now I lay down, numb, within the brightest light
I lose all emotion, I become nothing here
I don’t find any stimuli, I’m living death
Nothing can change it, and you don’t care anymore
I will always remain lost, in a tear infested world
