Shutting Down

Tears fall from his eyes to the page
Words crashing the walls of the heart
Waves breaking, leaving him dazed
Ripped in two and torn apart
A world now without meaning
A life destroyed with her leaving
A heart not willing to survive
No desire for staying alive
Retreating into the dark
Closing down the senses
Eyes close, breath exhausts
Life released in silence

Can we will ourselves into oblivion or does it find us when our lives exist in despair

Living or thinking like this is a perfect defeat. Attitude and will out the door. If I really felt this way, I would search for something addictive to do like smoke a strong dope. No it can't be this bad. Bill
