Soulless


You are the death in me

The hollow voice of despair

With blackened eyes

Withered bones

Salt and pepper hair

 

Rotten teeth

Baggy skin

And horrid breath

 

You make me die inside

Killing my soul

And breaking my spirit

 

I’m falling into a bottomless pit

Only to see a small ember start

Right before you swallow me whole

 

Burning my skin

Slowly

Until it melts away

 

You are

A demon among demons

Kill, steal, and destroy

Your mind is one tracked

 

Poisonous snake

Back stabbing anyone and everyone

I see you

I can identify you

 

Your hollow dark eyes are glazed over

Yes I know you

We’ve met before

A long time ago

 

In the once dark place

I called a heart

You was there

All the time

 

You didn’t judge me

No you saw right through me

Through all the crap and mess

 

I look in the mirror

That’s where you were created

And I named you

Soulless
