I think I'm going to cry, <br />For the first time today. <br />My hopes, my dreams, my everything, <br />They all fade away. <br /> <br />I have nothing now, only emptiness. <br />A void in my soul, <br />I feel nothing, <br />Only time lets me know I am still living. <br /> <br />Your words, <br />They cut like a knife, <br />The sharp edge, <br />Sliding through my skin, <br />Deep, to my bones, <br />Deep, to my soul. <br /> <br />I think I'm going to cry, <br />For the first time today. <br />My bitter, twisted, angry life, <br />Slowly slips away<br /><br />Steve Armstrong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/slip-away-2/
