Never Really There

Fading
Fading away softly into the night
Nothing’s there
It’s all gone now
No heart
No soul
Only an empty hole

Nothing can fill it
No one will try
So it remains
Forever open
Forever wounded
Forever in pain

Silence is everywhere
No one talks
No one speaks
The hole is not even there
Not even seen

A wall is up
A massive barrier
It can never be removed
No one will try
It’s not even there

Pain, emptiness, longing
All alone; all quiet
Never heard; it’s always silent
Doesn’t exist
Fades into black
But still remains

There; not there
All is quiet; all is loud
All is silent
Barriers erected
No one can breach; no one will try
Always silent

Fading away
Into the dark
Always open
Always in pain
Not even there
No one knows
No one’s aware
The hole’s not even there

Shards
Pain
Meaning
Understanding
No hope
Only blackness

No heart
No soul
Only pain
Only nothing
Not even there…
Fading
Gone
No one’s aware

Silent
Watching
Broken and alone
All alone
Just out of reach
Out of sight
Ever watching
Never seen
Never really there
