Empty

My wrists itch, ache and throb

With life unwanted

Dual red lines form

Constant reminders

Of my failure

Taunting me day

After dreadful day

I will tears to come forth

But my cheeks remain dry

There is only a void

Where once I felt a soul

I am nothing

But an empty shell

Where life once was

They look at me

And think they see a man

But their eyes 

Lie

Not a day goes by

That I don’t wish

My body was naught

But ashes

Blowing in the wind

Unburdened

Free
