Amidst these worn hearts

Increase pressure

Oh the diamond of misery

Jewel of such oblivion

Pacing again

Still no reply

For where purpose wilted

Loss and regret bloomed

Life after life

Learning no/thing

Within final extremity

Beside the last breath exhaled

And again pale to the center

Stumbling

Stuttering

Nil light reigns

Only tattered accusations

Paling to the comparison

Now utterly drained

And all wonder is banished

Life after life

Absorbing

Nothing
