Empty

A Poem by Courtney Hough

In this wasteland i scream,


no on around for miles.


silence.


and birds pecking at flesh.


My mind is a wasteland,


my body the rotting shell.


am i afraid of dying?


I gladly welcome hell.


hours and seasons change,


while here I stay,


never to move.


I'm in a place with no saving grace.


Where the thirst of life is no longer,


and food of thought has no nourishment.


Dwindling away as the sands beside me.

I swear I sit in silence after I read all of your writings. It's amazing how you can make me speechless not only physically but mentally. It takes real talent to do so. Amazing, really.
