Murder
There is no home
When you feel so alone
All I know is
I want to go
I want to follow
In the steps of everyone gone
Maybe then,
I might begin to belong
I look around
And there's no one else to be found
My silent tears
Thump loudly on the ground
With no other sounds
In emptiness, I drown
Sadness is not the essence of I
The void inside
Where the poison resides
I'm chilled to the bone
Cold to the touch
If only they knew
I'm missing so much
Physical affection
Interpersonal connection
The fear of rejection
Anxious of imperfection
Regret and anger
Wears weary on my skin
As beauty fades
Self-loathing wins
Scars deeper than
The depths of despair
Soulless stare
In reflective glare
What does it matter
Why do I care
Too much
It's an infliction
Out done only
By the rival of addiction
This is my act of contrition
Forgive you too
When I'm already damned
Still, she lies further
Apologies, a murmur
Aloud screaming.....

..bloody....
… murder …
