Black

Black hole in my heart
Where the darkness leaks out
Filling my soul, my world
Tearing it apart

I stand alone in this crowd
Time for me is frozen
I watch others bustle before me
Their pointless lives passing by

I reach out
To their chaotic symphony of life
No one ever holds out a hand
An offering of acceptance
Instead I draw the blade
Plunging it deep
causing pain so sweet
as my black blood pours out
around and over their lives
I am not granted the peace
Of deaths sweet embrace
Instead I linger
Left on the outskirts
An empty cold husk
lifeless
deathless
forever
