Poetry: A blank life

Wake Me Up

What do I need to do to reach out to you?
The screams don't seem to be loud enough

Losing my mind,
Sleep has become a distant dream far from my reach
I don't even recognize my own voice

Yearning for a heartbeat other than my own,
Or is mine merely a figment of my imagination?

Frustration leaves my palms bruised,
My appetite dissolved,
My appearance broken, corroded,
My fingertips numb

I crave to hear it's okay to feel,
For I live amongst dead souls, bloodless and breathless,
Slowly my utopia is fading
I fear I shall never escape

Wake me up

    Division of deception is raw that flow on my mind
    I crave for a answer for living
    I put desire in the window of fears
    I draw
