[ When The Light Goes Out ] - Introspection
No Plagiarism!YYKoNJ3eNOpKZiMXLTZyposted on PＥNAＮＡ

[ When The Light Goes Out ]481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaSkg7D1PU

When the light goes out481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7nhQR7IsC

The pupil gets bigger481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNfkTiG4cb

Window to the soul481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lSZSc4xM4

Celestial vigor

Blinking in the void

Eyes in the abyss

Left in the darkness

When vision is eclipsed

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRmJUpGEif

Past-life fading

When the light goes out

World disappears

Existence in a doubt

Eyes once searching

Losing all account

Till the mind paints a picture

For it cannot do without

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBV73BpPjI

Trying to remember

Cannot quite recall

When the light goes out

You lose all your resolve

World disfigured

In a moment of withdrawal

Memory’s creation

Leaving you appalled

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMZ7st8DhP

Who am I really

What am I about

Am I still beautiful

When the light goes out

Is there a place for me

A place that I’m allowed

When the world disappears

And no one is around

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9oDcencSv

Now I’m cast in fear

But not of the darkness

Identity retracing

No visible, to harness

When the light goes out

Why do I feel heartless

Abandoned to the soul

Am I nothing but a carcass

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiNI3KaYXB

Mind over matter

Yet both of them in doubt

Am I a god of nothing

Foolishly devout

Worshiping with fervor481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2lqbJYpcf

When the light goes out

Crafting a salvation

As I cannot live without

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5lHbuGWON

Buried in a tomb

Underneath the earth

Trapped within a womb

Dying to be birthed

Fuck, I’m going crazy

None of this occurred

When the light goes out

How then can I observe

481Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uQqUd2NzB

Identity in question

Meaning, in a drought

No one here to save me

Enlightened, no amount

Meditate oblivion

The hell I would allow

I just, really miss love

When the light goes out
