Down to the End of Nowhere

Down to the End of Nowhere

A Poem by Andrew Simonetta
"

Song that I wrote, just words, no music.

"

<>
::Verse 1::
My dark soul creeps into oblivion,
A deep cramped cage,
Cold, brutal, my brittle bones break,
It's tearing me apart within,
Hollow, I feel the absolution of it's empty serenity,
Burning like a thousand suns in my chest,
I want to shout out my throat,
Will it not stop aching?

::Chorus 1::
Empty words will not cauterize these wounds,
I wear them on my chest,
Leaking, pulsing, crawling inside,
I'm wearing it to the end.

::Verse 2::
Tranquil cords, wrapped about me listlessly,
I dance, like a marionette over a pit,
My strings, groaning and snapping,
Ever tighter they pull, like a hangman's noose,
Drag me away, feed me upon your spines,
Weightless I cry,
Pulled into the mouth of heavens lost,
Over and over again,

::Chorus 2::
Empty words will not cauterize these wounds,
I wear them on my chest,
Leaking, pulsing, crawling inside,
I'm wearing it to the end.

::Verse 3::
My heart bursts into infinity lost,
Tearing and ripping flesh from bone,
Twisting and burning, forests fold,
The tattered air space, crimson musk,
Wasted aegis, forever dusk,
Corpulent atrocities
Morose laughter,
There is no heaven after all...

Walk down the road and see the wild grass grow, Come to the trees where I had once grown, All this life, who could have ever known? It comes in seasons, tears into my feelings, Changes my mind, .. more..
