Senseless

Like shadows in the night, they start to fade away, 
All my dreams and aspirations for a better day, 
It's like I'm lost in the plot of a badly written play, 
It's the carnal side of me that I cannot keep at bay, 
Confusions an intrusion, deep in my mind, 
I need retreat from defeat, but there's none that I find, 
In possession of transgression, I fall from your side, 
I'm running from myself and there's nowhere to hide, 
I've been used and abused, that's what I do best, 
I've been kicked to the curb and forsaken by the rest, 
All alone I stand, with no hope in sight, 
I'm being torn at the seams with no reason to fight, 
Far away from your love, I reach out for your hand, 
The sand strikes upon my face as I walk this barren land, 
I can feel the touch of death, I sense it on my back, 
The train of the damned is coming down the track, 
Like a bullet with no gun, a weopon without force, 
I hear the screaming in the night, but I just can't find the source, 
Hoplessness overwhelms me, I'm consumed in vertigo, 
I try to find the cure, as the pain begins to grow, 
Paranoia causes questioning with everything I know, 
My eyes empty of light, and my heart begins to slow, 
I am senseless.
