Yasta
darkness confines me
becomes me
i am but a shadow
lost in my own
darkened world
searching
for what i do not know
a family i never had?
a love i never knew?
peace from the chaos of this world?
abandoned by those who claimed to love me
never truly knew what love was
never really shown what love was
emotions are lost to me
hardened beyond truth
hardened beyond love
emptiness is my salvation
yet emptiness is my destruction
i dont feel
until pain
brings me back to reality
the sharp cold bite
of sharpened steel
the release of blood
brings me back
even if only shortly
it makes me feel
it makes me live
live
live
