Sure thing

Sure as the blackness runs through my body
There will forever be a void,
nothing strong enough to ever fill

Sure as the morning sunshine shows the lines and cracks
on my once supple skin
What have I done to this body?
What is left?

Sure as the pain gnaws at what is left behind
the tears that were never more than a spoonful
have become on ocean, big enough to engulf all the land

Sure as the moon never leaves the sun
the only thing that I want to leave
the pain sees past my walls, my nerve,
my defense to not let others in
It knows all of the secret entrances

Someday, I know everything will be okay
but I will continue to do wrong
kill people with my words
my mind
Continue to strike you down

I have to start accepting my fate
that the one I love will not in return
that this will be my greatest joy
that this is what I have made for myself
that this is all I will ever know

Who will understand now?
Who will care?
Who will ever see past the broken and tattered
the 'lifeless'?

    DAMN
    So much emotion, it's good to let some spill on to the paper, is it not?
    Moving, wretching grief
    damn
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    "what a long, strange trip it's been"
