nothingness
once again you cross my pathwhat seemed like green pastures is now met with oncoming death
warped and dark i see no more light
you snatched the happiness from me with one glance
now i am without breath, light and ambition
and it seems like rotting away into nothingness is my fate
but why then? after you leave i feel lonely
and suddenly i yearn for your presence?
dependence now of a hostage to its surpressor
is that what i defined as my love?
or was it just a mirage of happiness on my backdrop of pain
forcing me to press forward in my uphill battle
only to reach my destination and find
that there is nothing there
