Dead in me

Dead in me

A Poem by AKhaus

Something is dead inside me...
I can't explain the chilling numbness spreading through my limbs but it's crawling beyond measure.
I am not able to control this...
The cancer is taking hold of me and I can't keep my head above this...
Something has died and I can't seem to find my way home.
There's nothing I can do to fight this and I feel my heart breaking.
I don't want to lose all that I have been...all that has been burnt in that storm.
Sometimes I think I can see a glance of her as I walk past those mirrors.
There's nothing I can do to breathe life back into her chest...
She's wept her last tears in the dark as the sun passed.
She sleeps in that tomb forever holding onto her ice moon.

Something is dead inside me and I can't get her back.
She walked across those shards of glass and stone but could never find her way back home.
She sleeps through the day and bleeds the night away.
I can't explain the chilling numbness that controls all I have...
I am not able to fight this...
The love has left and I can't remember the words that made me cry.
Abandoned by the trust that seemed to feel so real but was only in my head.
Having struggled for her survival only to see her dead, lifeless in every step.
I don't want to lose the time that was spent...all that was formed in that fire.
Sometimes I can feel those tears rolling down this now dry face.
There's nothing I can do to wake her from that eternal slumber.
She's felt her last love in this silence as the sun died down into that darkness.
She stiffens beneath this ground never to be found.
