A description of a hopeless soul

Do you see the blackened sky?
Lost and forgotten, you can no longer fly
As paper wings do not carry the fallen
They only betray...

Hope buried beneath your sole
The darkness it burns inside
Reflections of passed smiles are all that stay the flames
Those last remnants of of something real
Are all you have left...

Tears stain to your hands
As you try to wipe clean
The obsidian of your soul

The scars on your heart
A constant reminder of pain and tragedy
Struggles and battles continue
The ravenous flames consume
There is nothing left

Staying on this course
Towards your annihilation
Will deaden your soul
And carve out your heart

Your pill induced euphoria
Will not save you
Just stare into the light
And let it burn you away...
