Xanadu
Trapped in Xanadu
An empty castle
A lonely existence
That is a constant reminder
Of your anorexic heart
That’s starving for love
Dying to belong
Yet, fitting in nowhere
Living without purpose
An empty shell
Depleting the world of it’s oxygen
Unable to contribute because
Something is missing inside you
Your blackened corridor
Just a self loathing punishment for the sadistic masochist
That hides in his box to avoid self discovery
Your well of happiness will always run dry
Peering outside
Watching the twinkle in the eyes of the soul mates
Knowing you will never experience the beauty of true love
But, failing to comprehend the reason why
Hearing the sweet, innocent laughter of children
That you will never have because you’re
Too narcissistic to love unselfishly
Looking for fulfillment in places
Where you will never find it
Loveless, a lonely road
On which you have chosen to travel
In which you will draw your last breath alone
Without your Susan Alexander Kane to hold your hand
