Fatigue

Swallow me up with sadness
A hard metal blade
To my drowning thoughts of madness
It's my time to go; I'll be brave
Not sure what to think
Of my sanity that you took
A frightening void of emptiness
Like the blank pages of a book
Washed-out faded rainbows
Dull prisms once full of color
My lackluster life used to be bright
And now it couldn't be duller
My lips should stay sealed,
For this is the life I chose
But everything seems to be falling
Like plucking petals off of a rose

Empty

My lonely heart cries out but no one seems to hear. I fear my life's pain and sorrow has become to much to bare. Why should I pick up these pieces of my life that have never fitted together.
