I don't know better (poe/en)

🏠︎ Home

i saw him
why is he there
he just is
and always were
he doesn't care
he wants me to rot
he wants me to erase-
nothing's to be spared
he's a hollow shell
desiring the end to come
ending all dispair
he does not allow
her to fill the
gaping hole
emptiness within
as every time he stares
too long
every time he mentions
her name
every time he makes
her real
every time he accepts
his fate
he makes her disappear
she is strong
but can't be seen
can't relate
should not complain
all rehearsed
a facade
lingering on
just lost dreams
fleeting joys
that disappeared
once so strong
now nonexistent
all what remains'
intangible pain
one i can't feel
i can't feel a thing
there's nothing
the future can bring
nothing like
i witnessed in the past
nothing ever lasts
permanence is inhuman
permanence's...
measured in seconds
seconds within decades
only those matter
only those seem to matter
would i rather
lose it all
i don't know better
other than to fall
