Solace

Nothing I see, makes me want it

Nothing I touch, makes me feel it

It just feels like I am already dead

Not in the body, but in the heart

Nothing I do, seems redeeming

I only perceive endless suffering

And an unquenchable yearning

For love, for hope, and some meaning

The only solace, is in knowing

That, in time, it will all be ending

And I will be finally resting

Not hoping, not seeking, just being
