The Void

My heart is an empty space, a void beyond all recognition with no room for pity, respect or love just a desert with no footsteps left from travellers just the cold and isolated landscape that it is. Every night I dream of myself being taken bit by bit, I chase my youth but it refuses to return and I slip a little more into the darkness. I feel the earth move under my feet yet I do not move, I feel my blood course through my veins as my heart beats yet I do not feel alive, I speak with others often yet I feel alone. My outlook is not bleak but realistic, I watch the sunrise but I am surrounded by darkness, I see things in the dark yet I do not fear them, I have been intimate with many yet I am still alone, I watch them labour I watch them settle and I watch them love one another but I feel no kinship with  my fellow man. I am a soulless creature with bad habits and broken relationships in my past, a smile has as much affect on my face as a hot iron would. I walk in anticipation towards trouble in order to feel something, I want to see the light fade in their eyes, I want their bones as trophies, I want to make a throne out of their skeletons and drink wine from their skulls. I want the world to burn and wait for it to evolve something better. I have witnessed the violence and bestial nature of man and I do not come to their defence. A star explodes in space yet life goes on if humanity were to fade into oblivion the universe continues to expand and create more life, our lives are unimportant in this world. The stars will shine and the moon will still glow with or without my presence on this earth, I walk upon the snow as it melts yet I am cold, I feel pain yet it is not painful, I hunger yet I am not hungry, I see my future and it has no end. My heart is an empty space...
