My heart of stone is closing up,

The walls are growing again,

Encasing it so I cannot feel,

Removing me from this world.

Do I love?

I do not know.

I cannot feel it.

I say the words, but it is a lie.

There is no feeling behind the words.

I sit and reminisce the memories of old,

And still I feel nothing.

I do not know how to feel.

I look at them and I feel pity,

There is no love in this cold, cold heart.

Filled only with dark emotions -

Bitterness, anger, hate...

What beauty can the husk create,

But more darkness and more sorrow?

Why procreate with so much ugliness?

What can I hope to achieve?

Destroy me - there is no hope for life here,

All I touch will die with me.
