GOTHIC HEART

[RJH1982]

LIFE WITH NOTHINGNESS


GOING THOUGH LIFE WITH NOTHINGNESS
IT IS DARK, SHALLOW, AND COLD.
I WANDER AIMLESSLY THROUGH THIS REALM.
WITH MY EYES OPEN, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE CLOSED.
I LOOK AROUND AT ALL MY SURROUNDINGS AND THERE IS NO LIGHT.
I SMELL THE BLACK ROSE THAT HAS NO THORNS BUT IT HAS NO SCENT.
I FIND COLOR AND IT VANISHES WHEN I TOUCH IT.
I OPEN MY HEART TO FIND NOTHING BUT COLD.
I LAY THINKING OF MY DARK REALM.
YOU SEE A WHOLE DARK WORLD BUT NOTHING BEYOND.
WANDERING THE ENDLESS PATHS OF NATURE.
I PICK UP A ROCK TO THROW, BUT IT JUST STAYS.
LIFE IS JUST A SMALL PIECE OF THIS NOTHINGNESS.
MY EYES WIDE OPEN TO VIEW THE DARK.
MY EYE CLOSED TO VIEW THE NOTHINGNESS.
MY HEART OEPN TO FEED MY SENSES WITH EMPTYNESS.
MY BODY SPREAD OUT ON A BLACK CANVAS.
I LOOK AHEAD TO SEE MY DREAMS
A WORLD OF DARK IS IN MY PALMS.
I LOOK INTO THIS WORLD OF DARK
TO SEE A MIRRORED REFLECTION OF MYSELF
WITH DARK EYES, MIND, AND SPIRIT.
IT SEEMS NO DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IS ALREADY HERE.
WHY NOT GO ON AND SEE WHAT IS BEYOND THE EMPTY SPACE
THERE IS JUST MORE OF WHAT I AM LEAVING BEHIND.
A WORLD OF DARKNESS AND LIFE WITH NOTHINGNESS
I LIGHT A MATCH THAT HAS A BLACK FLAME.
IT SHOWS NO LIGHT WITH AN EERIE GLOW
I FEEL THE COLD OF THE BLACK FLAME.
AND PUT IT OUT TO STOP MY FEARS
THEN IT POURS A DARK, COLD RAIN
STANDING ALONE WITH NOTHING TO COVER WITH
I THINK OF HOW TO STAY DRY.
THEN I LOOK AND SEE THAT I AM NOT WET.
BUT I AM COLD FROM THE DROPS
BUT THEY DON'T MAKE ME WET AT ALL.
I WONDER IF THEY ARE TEARS OF JUST FROM THOUGHTS.
BUT EITHER WAY THEY SUDDENLY STOP
I CONTINUE MY WAY ALONG MY DARK TRAIL.
TO COME BACK TO THE BEGINNING TO START IT AGAIN.
I TAKE DIFFERENT STEPS BUT STAY ON THE SAME DARK PATH
WONDERING IF IT IS TRUE LIFE IS JUST DARK, FILLED WITH NOTHINGNESS.
