~ Longing ~

i am nothing,

my soul is dead to the world

i cannot feel,

i wrap my body in a blanket of darkness,

my mind is shrouded in despair

life makes no sense,

i have given up on living

i long for peace and serenity

but mostly i long for death

i pull the knife out from the drawer

cannot feel it upon my wrist

the blood is like nothing,

it flows like water

i lay my head down still clutching the knife in my hand,

and long for death
