oblivion


did you know 
every single time I close my eyes 
I see life struggle to stay inside
them cold inert bodies 
I see calamities
fires scorching
razing the everything 
to the ground 
into the ashes astound 
lies the dessicated rainfall 
soaked in blood 
as it carves out the craving appetite 
for eternal night 
did you know
every single time I take a breath
I bathe in the Lethe
its ice cold strokes running all over
all the forgotten smoulder 
a faint memory 
of what it used to be 
yet still there
lying in the ashes 
burnt to dust
and yet it's not
all gone
one by one
did you know 
even though
I tell you now
there's nothing you truly know 
John Doe
did you know 
there's winter down below 
all wrapped in your snow 
the fire froze 
your hope glows
no more 
at my door 
and the nothing is right there
everywhere 
I gaze
into an empty space 
time stopped 
the brain's blocked
nugatory fuckedupedness
purposeless nothingness
death
is what's next
and yet 
living in your own net
there's nothing you know 
John Doe
