The Lingering Torn

they are nothing
nothing
nothing but words
and words can't help me now

beyond the realm of caring
I care not
for myself, I am worthless
a wasted existence

it is the others that keep me here
attached to them
I cannot escape
to hurt them is the unthinkable

the words are meaningless
they wash all around me
lulling me to sleep
small comfort, for soon I shall wake

wake
from nightmare
to reality
identical twins that mock me

I cannot escape
they know
they know
my time is soon to come
