Nothingman

The fog rolls in,
It is thick and gloomy.
Nothing looks like it should,
A shipwreck of depleted colour.

On this nameless street I walk,
Passing me by are pale blank faces.
Lacking all facial features,
Making me the different one.

A haunting reality this is,
I cannot speak.
There is no noise,
As the barren walk by.

The silence is controlling,
The silence is strange.
I am the one with a soul,
They are the nothingman.

Empty canvases,
That is all they are.
No colour and no life,
They are the nothingman.

There is nothing I can do,
Except be let down by the truth.
Maybe it would be easier to be an abandoned shell,
I wish I was a nothingman.

Reach

Never let me go,
The ocean is calling me.
I drive towards total darkness,
Black.

No hope around,
No answers to my problems.
I can't even hear myself think,
Lost.

There's no illumination,
Where I am going.
Crashing of tidal waves,
Breathless.

I look back to where I used to be,
Seeing a setting sun.
I think I am breaking down again,
Melancholy.

Too many words I used to say,
Without meaning.
I am beyond help,
Cold.

Never let me go,
I am engulfed by total darkness.
No light, no life.
Goodbye.
