Desolation's Stroll

Desolation's Stroll
  By Kaoss

Walking the halls
that is my mind
I am greeted by
the desolation
and utter wasteland.

Broken dreams
And shattered schemes
Litter the way,
Faded glory
And long lost hope.

All that was
and that will never be
Laid out for me
Destroyed all
Yet I continue.

Wasted time
As well as lost
Lie rusted,burned
Nothing gained
Or even learned.

Wandering wondering
What went wrong
Why all this loss
Pain and disillusion
Yet I continue onward.

Once prized memories
Lay in fetid pools
Nightmares dance joyous
Madness gains a foothold
Yet I still continue.

Is it foolish pride
That drives this shell
Wandering in this,
Desolated hell
Unsure why I continue.

Haunted by what could have been.
Angered by what should have.
Comforted by the tatters of what is.
What was and what is
Battle for control, supremacy.

Shattered and battered
by the desolate wasteland
Knowing all is really lost
Hope lies broken burned
Yet I continue.

State of Mind

State of Mind
  By Kaoss

Body Broken
Soul soon to follow
Naught left but memories
And those have soured

Meaning of life lost
Empty and devoid
Wrong turn or fate
Who cares it's too late

Trapped and waiting
Mental state shot
What a wonderful fate
Left out to rot

Bitter and angry
Ones only friends
Who stick it out
Until the end

This this just bitching
Or some inner reveal
It's hard to tell
when one can no longer feel

Time stretches
a horrid charade
Thoughts they wander
From weird to macabre
