*Dazzled*

Watching how forever dies
my eyes
dazzled with pain
go blind

Time
disappears unmercifully
to fizzle out
Facing the truth of impossibility
my mind realizes

The empty soul represses all feelings
It rips them out
from the flesh
of this hopeless life
It throws them
to the the ground
to be trampled by the boots of lies

How absurd
to expect a sacrifice
Life continues to whip
the shoulders of hope 
with its cruel twigs
over and again

The embrace of reality is cold
It strangles
my neck of illusions
making me mute

I am silent
convinced by a breath of dying
Convinced
to remain behind
the eternal glass of sorrow

There is no other way
