The Void

I brought this on myself this time
Kryptonite scars up and down my body
Wishing for hope, for redemption, for mercy
Expecting everything and getting nothing
I REACH OUT for a helping hand, but
ALL I FEEL is the cold, lifeless air
NOW I SEE that there’s nothing there
Buried beneath my misery, when I’m dead and gone remember me
I hold the keys to release my safety
My compass pointed in the right direction
I just wish the map I had an X for the end
Not for the treasure that doesn’t exist
As the sun shines no longer
And the wind stops caressing my shoulder
I reflect on my expired youth
As the rest of me decays with the roots
I reach out with a helping hand, but
All I feel is cold, lifeless air
Now I see there’s nothing there
Buried beneath my misery
The seasons change infinitely
As I rot expecting divinity
I REACH OUT for a helping hand, but
ALL I FEEL is the cold lifeless air
NOW I SEE that there’s nothing there
Buried beneath my misery, when I’m dead and gone remember me
