Tomorrow

This is far more than pain
An embellishment of hate
Simply put my mind laughs
My heart dies
My soul weeps
The sky cries

Shards of myself lie scattered across the floor
I'll watch them, admire them, hate them
Eventually gather up all I can
But it's never as many as there were
Then once again, once more, I'll shatter
With fewer and fewer pieces each time
Until none remain

All the while, the entire time
Constantly and unrelentingly
My broken soul and ashen heart
How pitiful they are
Yearning for what they can't have
Anger will engulf them
Hate will destroy them
Misery will drown everything

This is simply the role I've been handed
I'll play it gloriously

My audience
Pride stabbing
Greed devouring
Envy controlling
Wrath destroying
Everything
These are my colours
These are my truths
They will guide me
Along my path of self-destruction
To nowhere yet everywhere and
Countless dreams will turn to dread
Vision will blur with flame
Pathetic fallacy will drown all
While I rejoice cry lie die
With my useless love

I'm far too hopeless a romantic for this
Any of this
All of it
