Great Lamentations

Look inside this empty heart

Look inside this hollow shell

What is left?

The dead, they thirst

I am the victim of my own mind

There is nothing left to love

I know no peace

I have no god

What is there left to love?

What once was good

GONE

If I had a heart that was not broken

I would say it belongs to you

All that I feel

IT WILL SOON BE GONE

I am built like a house of cards

It took me so long to get here

And I fell so many times

And now I fall again

I know no peace

I have no god

I know no peace

I have no god

I know no peace

I have no god

I want to decay into your arms

I am torn

To stay or to make my exit

No amount of love could ever console me

I am a broken man

These wounds will not heal

I know no peace

I have no god

What is there left to love?

What once was good

GONE

If I had a heart that was not broken

I would say it belongs to you

All that I feel

IT WILL SOON BE GONE

Written by me in 2024, I'm not sure when I wrote this. I wrote this from the perspective of a vampire, a sort of a continuation of Selene. I was, again in a pit of despair so I needed to write out my depression. I'm unsure if this was written before I got with Charlie or not, but regardless, I was feeling like I was some unlovable beast so I wrote a poem.
