[the Curse] Poem by Empath In flames

Who wants to live forever?
To inhale the dying breath from
The ones you love…
To watch the world decay
from age and torment.
My curse is immortality…

Never will I sleep,
Further than the stars.
Never will my hatred be
punished through ruins.

I may not die,
But I feel dead inside…
Trying to find nous
to understand pain,
The regression from living
Has ripened my heart black,
Immune by sickness.
Resistant to love….

Sometimes I engrave myself
to feel the euphoria in suffering,
Although I bleed…
My blood is dust.
Before the awareness
Sets in it’s blown away.
History fades…
It is never the same…

I am dying inside…
You can see it in my eyes.
A man is not a God,
I am curse….
A crumbling curse.
From an immortal providence.
As I watch this world depart.
