Down To Earth

In space

Your world

Is no closer.

Just numbness

Like a drug.

I dreamed I

Was an alien 

That flew too close to the sun

As the Earth was

So f*****g lost.

I cannot tell

You how I feel.

Nothing hurts.

And nothing heals.

I wish I could tell

You how I feel.

Nothing hurts.

Nothing will heal. 

'Cause it's great, cruel world.

As we are drained of emotions.

I cannot love myself.

I cannot love any other.

Oh, my scars they itch.

My prescription's gone.

You were my queen "forever and always." 

But it's all long gone.

What is left to say?

My peers are

So cold.

Our frames are all broken.

And the rosaries tore my scars open.

Aylissa...

I miss her.

I'm praying

Oh, so mechanical.

And our lives are so ugly now.

All the razors are gone.

My cuts all here.

There is no queen "forever and always."

'Cause it's all long gone.

So what is left to say?

It's a cruel and numbing world

And we are drained of emotions.

We cannot love the rest.

We cannot love any other.

Author's Note

A poem about how cruel the world is and how numbing it can be all the way to the point of feeling mechanical.

[Dai Hanshou]

Is this for the people living in grey? Expresses that humankind is only extant, regardless of emotions and other temporary things. Kind of haunting.
