"Senseless" written by Caleb Hendricks

Senseless

Like shadows in the night, they start to fade away, 

All my dreams and aspirations for a better day, 

It's like I'm lost in the plot of a badly written play, 

It's the carnal side of me that I cannot keep at bay, 

Confusions an intrusion, deep in my mind, 

I need retreat from defeat, but there's none that I find, 

In possession of transgression, I fall from your side, 

I'm running from myself and there's nowhere to hide, 

I've been used and abused, that's what I do best, 

I've been kicked to the curb and forsaken by the rest, 

All alone I stand, with no hope in sight, 

I'm being torn at the seams with no reason to fight, 

Far away from your love, I reach out for your hand, 

The sand strikes upon my face as I walk this barren land, 

I can feel the touch of death, I sense it on my back, The train of the damned is coming down the track, Like a bullet with no gun, a weopon without force, I hear the screaming in the night, but I just can't find the source, Hoplessness overwhelms me, I'm consumed in vertigo, I try to find the cure, as the pain begins to grow, Paranoia causes questioning with everything I know, My eyes empty of light, and my heart begins to slow, I am senseless.
