The Inescapable Reality


Strings un-knot themselves in the darkness
Leaving an intangible mess 
of a soul
unbound by regret
and painted black with sadness
In their wake a body is left vacant
To later be filled with numbness
and demons that peel back layers of her flesh
Revealing the remains of the chaos her vessel once held
Hollow eyes pierce those who pass her
The coal black orbs and inky hair in contrast with pale skin
Looking more like the broken moon then a lifeless body on a sidewalk
No one pays her no mind
til the blood sinks into the cement
and down into the soil
The earth absorbing her silent screams for help
She's muted
Her chest is still and the world keeps moving on
Rotating on its axis
Another child lost to the cycle of destruction
When eyes land on her
Cold and pitiless
All she gets is a casket
Buried under the ground
the dirt resonating her pleas 
But only the reaper can hear them
and not even he will offer the helping hand to the deserted being
For the dead can't speak and can only suffer silently
