Black Heart

 

My heart is black as coal
black as the new moon sky
as the deepest pit of hell
as the feather of the raven

It wishes only more darkness
to drown it even more
in a pool of black tears
cryed out for no one and all

Black heart that trembles
that shatters and revives again
only to be shattered again
and again and again and again

killing the body, the soul left already
the spirit is thorned apart
the mind is twarted
existence is false and useless

Yet the bodie continues onward
with the struggle for life
and for these foolish ideas that fuel it
and make it go onward

Torturing even more whats inside
even if little there is
even if worthless it is
yet it is me and whats left of it
