.:|bittersweet|:. (Free verse) by emman
Happiness doesn't seem to touch you
you smile, but it never reaches your eyes
why ?
Does anything ever affect you ?
At least in any good way ?
...or, at all ?
Can you feel pain ?
cold steel against yor naked skin
or are you also numb ?
Totally unaware of so much life
around you
Seeing everything through a filthy bubble
a distortion of life as other people see it
Or is it the other way around ?
Hate and remorse keeps you going
keeps you hoping
You live only for it
the sweet revenge
the wonderful taste of vengeance
Always fully aware of
that every breath you take
could be your last
Filling your lungs with thick smoke
closing your eyes
feeling your heart beat
slower...
Was I ever worthy you ?
will I ever be...
...complete without you
