 From my mind

The Nothing Man


  I am the nothing man I stand alone
  Looking through cadaver set eyes
  Feeling nothing with a empty heart
  An empty heart that's made of stone


  Hearing nothing words through  unused ears
  Voices forgotten through a famine of  years
  Crying nothing tears through desert  eyes
  The nothing man lives through his demise


  On the street the nothing man is not seen
  He is invisible to the eye
  As people look through him as they pass him by
  His life is nothing and nothing is his life
  As the years pass by him
  Like a dish of butter to a red hot knife


  No feelings of love or pity can get in
  Like an impregnable rock are his
  Armour plated mind and his chain male skin
  The nothing man was an unwanted child
  He stands alone like an untended garden
  Left to over grow left to go wild


  Nothing man what is your fate?
  With ice blue cold eyes he stops stares and hisses
  "Nothing it's too late."
