a void me

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

As savage emptiness in front of your eyes
gains a new perspective and clean sheets
are stained by the repeated calling of names
This is all the force needed
to finally close the doors between then and now
Those doors that revealed more than anyone would want to see
Poisoned chains, echoes of an afterglow that make you feel glad
not to have arrived in time

Such is the very moment when by accident
the conscious mind figures how to 
unmask reality, 
returning its image to the fatal burden 
it really is.
Some even die for that touch of the invisible hand,
caressing the innermost weaknesses
hidden below many layers that no one has names for
But as long as as you have no other choice 
but to live within them,
amplifying the unseen by using words not even you can understand
You're too curious to break the circle
Carrying along the fragrance of the lies from far away
Meanwhilst, the desire to wake up now, when dreams are no more,
shows you another way that works out fine 
For anyone but you.
As a fact, this is another variation to completely divide the attention
of those who have need to prove the impossible
Burning any clues in the fuel of our innocence
until you have enough reason to believe 
I would rather take a life 
than take your hands

I would...
Too afraid you'd not let me remove my very own layers
'cause there's a chance I'd be facing 
the bizzare outcome
 of nothing left inside
