Husk from 生まれたての雪 by Lycopene

I am nothing
But the remains
Of the shadow
Of a creature
So far from human
Still I wait
For an excuse
To try and pass off this stillborn heart
As one of theirs
Despite repeated failures
And pain
Something
Longs for more
More than nothing
There’s a heart behind the mask
Struggling to break the façade
There’s an eye watching the heart
That proves the façade to be real

Die inside to endure life
Let your pain protect your smile
Let the black protect the world
Don’t connect to a beating heart
You know you’ll want it in your hands
You know you’ll want them dead

Awake
Don’t feel
Don’t worry
Cover
Don’t care
Don’t love
Sleep
Don’t dream
Don’t hope
Awake
Don’t lust
Don’t kill
Detach
Don’t trust
Don’t Breath
Breath
Don’t speak
Don’t cry
Don’t reach out
Scream
Silence
Failure
Pain
Restart
Shed my insides





I walk, a husk
Carry nothing no lifeform
Effortless bliss
To feel nothing no pain
No happiness
I can’t shed a tear without a loss
So I hold nothing
Even in safety
Sometimes, I wonder
Did I fail myself
Have I failed you
You, yet to live
Yet I am dead
Stars fall like snow
Right between my fingers
Let me save one
Let me feel something
Let me give something
Please let me feel
I’ll take the pain
Let me show I care
And truly mean it
Even if I fear it
I want to feel it
