Nadir

A single teardrop falls

into a vacuum of despair

the past overruns the future

onlysorrow ever cares.

I don’t know why I worry

Why I shed these tears of pain

all I know is the hurt

echoing forever through my heart.

The pain of rejection

of loneliness unmatched

not being good enough for you or me.

You can’t understand me

so don’t even bother to try

my thoughts and feelings are gone

My heart was locked away ages ago.

All the remains is a wondering

a fear of life and a lust for death.

Hatred grows inside me now

fed by a desire for vengeance

friends become enemies

allies objects of boundless rage.

If this shadow wasn’t here

If the darkness didn’t surround me

consume me and fuel me

Maybe I could be happy.

My dreams were shattered

Such a long time ago

I’m surprised I remember them still.

My hope was crushed

In so many different ways

Why does a fragment still remain?

To live a life without meaning

There could be no greater curse

To live a day as I do

Is nothing short of hell.

I don’t have what I need

Nor what I desire and want

Both yearnings go unanswered.

This is my story

and when destiny’s curse is over

My life shall be too.

    i recommend that you read the works of angelo v. suarez. he’s superbly poetic, too. he won a palanca when he was 19 for his first book. his books are quite expensive though, so you can just take a look at his works through the net if you have time.

    anyway, i’m your fan — in a rather romantic way. haha. but, i really am. seriously. since high school :)
    ever heard of some xylirica leigh?
