Soul and Body Left to Deplete


Inside I feel restless
Frequent changes do no good to me
The cycle of life has no ending
Permanently being stuck on repeat

 

The blood in the veins is depleting
Nothing left to keep the heart beating
All the emotions that are left 
Are left retreating

 

The former self
Becomes a carcass 
No more energy left to relinquish 
All that I used to have, has become extinguished

 

Inner voices have no ending
Soul so quiet
Mocked by its own cringing
Thoughtless actions are left contemplating

 

Envisioned within my own nightmares
Past shattered in pieces, unable to repair
Adverse settings
Future lays in despair
