PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I look at everything I am
The person I have become
This pain is like insanity
The love like going numb
I am filled with jealousy
I surround myself with spite
The moments all feel empty
And I cannot sleep at night

I look at those I push away
They haunt me even still
All the heroes hollowed out
All the lovers that I kill
So many attempts at failure
That I am frozen to this state
All that is left for me to give
Is cold bitterness and hate

I look at all you saw in me
A moment come and gone
I was holding a panic button
Permanently withdrawn
And the pain is like insanity
As it eats away at my soul
And I can never have it back
The emptiness you stole
