Torn Between the Darkness

We are already dead.

How do you live when you know

that existence itself will end?

Nothing that exists will matter,

The only truth is death and suffering.

Too stupid to die,

Too dead to live,

A coward torn between the darkness before

and the darkness that comes after.

Between the dark is where life lies

And it fucking lies.

Life is a curse,

Existence is suffering.

The weight of pain suffocates

the memory of joy.

Radioactive dust sealed our fate.

The ash of misery infests our lungs.

There is no light,

Only the deceit of life.

We are already dead.

You are already dead.
