A Lost Cause

Transcending the slender line

Which shields the earth from

The mythical heaven

Or is it hell I’m forced into

How long has it been

Since my breath abandoned me.

Why haven’t I seen anyone

Penetrating the mythical shield

Extending their arms

To reach out to me

For it seems like eternity

As I fall into abyss

Expecting to find serenity.

Something that could salvage me

From this oppressive misery

From this delirious state I’ve been in

Seeing myself and no other

Unconscious, irreparable, helpless

Cremated to ashes

No one to read the eulogy.

A light shone on me

Oh, the helpless me

Unflinching eyes

A woman wailing

Uttering my name

Laying a flower on my grave

Reminiscence of my past struck me.

All the things left undone

All the hollow voids to fill

All the wrongs to be done right

Will it subside the pain?

Will this absolution give me solace?

Will this be my only salvation?

Or will I forever be subjected to damnation?

In this lamentation

Tears billowed out my eyes

For I knew, oh I knew

The reality, as I fell into the abyss.
