Empty Truth


A Poem by Fallen_Immortal
"
How do you keep living when the one you love dies?
"

Surrender your life to me

In this darkness, night;

In this pale moonlight.

I break.

If only I could take it away.

I'm screaming at you.

 

Do you remember a time

When you were only mine?

 

Heartbreak,

Fading like the misty cold.

I wake

To find this empty truth that I'm alone.

Listen to the pulse beat

Inside my head.

Then I'm not truly dead.

 

My body's frozen,

Delicate with ice cold snow,

Layered on top of me,

Piled on the withered stone.

A single name unknown to the world.

The blood pumps silent through me.

I know that I must go.

 

Heartbreak,

Fading into pure white snow.

I wake

To find this empty truth that I'm alone.

Listen to the pulse beat

Inside my head.

Then I'm not truly dead

Even if you are.

 

The light is falling away,

The music box rings softly.

I'm here to stay.

A silent teardrop

Upon your tomb.

I wish I could share your doom.

 

Do you remember what you meant to me?

In your glassy eyes, can you see me?

Frightened by the path you set ahead of me.

I'd rather share your fate than face my destiny.

 

Heartbreak,

Fading into nothing, gone.

I wake

To find this empty truth that I'm alone.

Listen to the pulse beat

Through my head.

Why can't I be dead?

I'm not truly dead.

Featured Review

This is actually one of my favorites to be honest. All the physical elements just intertwine with the emotions into a perfect blend of words. And the symbols, like the empty tomb and glassy eyes and the music box, they substitute a wordy poem into a smooth explanation that couldn't get any clearer; using visual instead of vocal, showing instead of telling.

I loved it.
