My feelings towards my tactic of blocking the bad memories I own.
First Revision
Emptiness
Emptiness owns more than one breed,
shifting forms, even into anger and rage.
Mine sleeps inside of me,
a comforting friend.
A ravenous parasite.
A deadly lover.
It lures me with promises of acceptance.
Weakens me with whispers of love.
Seduces me with its beautiful facade.
I run to it, hope flowing from me like blood,
only to find that its name rings true.
The promises fade to lies.
Love cracks and falls away to expose hatred.
Beauty deteriorates into something monstrous.
All it ever was,
all it will be,
all it can be...
Empty.

Of love.

I run to it, hope flowing from me like blood,

All it ever was, is emptiness.
It is all I ever was.
I am empty.
