Empty inside
So cold inside
This guilt, this pleasure
I’ve been meaning to hide
Can’t see
What’s in front of me
The grinding ice
Passes so slowly
Hallowed ground
Unearthly sound
After all the rotations,
Still spinning ‘round
Yesterday’s news
Been abused
After all the laughter,
Still not amused
That flame
Still burns the same
A moment of indifference,
Before the shame

well, I relate to this one...
perfect rhyme and flow...
I like the line..."this guilt, this pleasure.
stalking you still, jm


 you're really alone at last...
you're bored and fading fast,
if it's true you'll fall from the past
all you'll have to do is ask
you'll feel but never be
you want and always need
price you pay for wanting to see
will you have all you've ever dreamed...
