there’s a vacancy here
desolate, dusty rooms since so long ago
year after distant year

there’s an emptiness underneath
no matter how deeply I breathe
nestled below all I hold close
is a black hole I don’t disclose

holding on to hope just crushes me so hard
I wither piece by piece
the divine intricacy of all these scars
forces me to my knees

this hollowness just swallows me
I’m treading water endlessly
caverns echo sombre stanzas
latent futures hold me ransom

I’m powerless before a cruel deity
held captive and restrained
victim to her callous spontaneity
as my will slowly drains

a melancholy mood descends
and colours everything again
the vacant space that lives inside
has started breathing; open wide [comments] => 5 [counter] => 144 [topic] => 13 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry ) Your Poetry Dot Com - Vacancy

my blinking neon sign lets the whole world know
there’s a vacancy here
desolate, dusty rooms since so long ago
year after distant year

holding on to hope just crushes me so hard
I wither piece by piece

I’m powerless before a cruel deity
held captive and restrained
victim to her callous spontaneity
as my will slowly drains

a melancholy mood descends
and colours everything again
the vacant space that lives inside
has started breathing; open wide
