I gaze in absence

At this hollow void reflection

Nothing is recognized

I’ve spent the better part of life

Trapped in this coffin

Built by my own obliquity

Now my emotions are watered down

I used to have aspirations

But all my dreams just died

I’m just a broken empty vessel

Poised to fall

The faceplate painted in blood

Erosion of humanity

Elimination of my being

Failure was my greatest success

No joy is hidden within

For only death has a reason to smile

Broken

Shattered

Hopeless

Forsaken

I stare in horror

At the image gazing back

Vaguely human anymore

Confined to isolation

Life has drained my spirit

The Devil’s curse carved in my soul

I’m left alone to suffer

A prisoner to the embrace of despair

This life once full of promise

Now is nothing more than dust

Confined to isolation

Broken

Shattered

Hopeless

Forsaken
