A fickle hope, the only air I breathe
On a tight rope, my balance slipping
My heart is like a burned out coal
I am on my last spark, fighting all the cold
Please give me more
Please reignite my soul
I’m withered and my mood is sinking
The glow I had is overshadowed
My hollow smile shows lack of faith
My finger nails grow,
I try scratch away my fears
Only to tear my skin to redness
Even when I bleed my blood seems cold
I feel no pain, because this pain is worthless
My beard is like a thorny bush
And even it does hide the sorrow on my face
I haven’t brushed my hair, it bothers me
But not enough to distract me from my sadness
I lay in bed as if it is my grave
No will to move
The sound of chirping birds no long tingling my passion
No light to give a taste of color in my sight
No tears are flowing, for even they have dried
I’m simply, nearly empty
With last breath of hope
I’m suffocating slowly
