The Empty Man
The Empty Man
Saddled with the darkened years
Fogged with broken thoughts
Chasing crooked spirits
Drenched in ethereal fire
Deadened to raging emotions
Sentenced to a deafened silence
Dreading the coming phase
Of fleeting victory and bleeding hearts
Thus, seeping the dredge
Of frothing suffering
He strides along
With the brevity of thoughts
Floating to a hollow future
