My heart, why do you dream incessantly?
Searching down limitless boulevards of pain,
For reasons to believe again.

This inescapable world, my billet has been.
Interminably watching these transient scenes,
Lurking within a weary instant.

Haunted by visions of failure,
Hunted by despair's faithful hounds,
In the thousand places I hide.

I rise to a dim daybreak,
Endeavoring to rid myself
Of this momentous burden.

Burden of pain, endlessly burning.
Burden of infamy, endlessly smoldering,
Burden of breathing, a judgment from above.

Despair and rage intertwine,
Shattering tenuous bonds that bind me
To a mind, long resigned to fading.

I cannot,

No more shall I face the sun,
It's acidic rays fill me with ache,
No more, never more.

No more my heart,
You have inhaled your last,
Find yourself a veil to shroud your cradle.

No more my heart,
You have said your last, sung your requiem.
Find yourself a tomb, to dream.

No more my heart,
It ends, and thus I lay me down.
Finally to hope.

No more!

the metaphors are really cool. i especially like "veiled cradle".

sad but not very sad, the emotion is a bit bland.
