Written at the hands of another

Jesse D. Black 1985 (Ohio)



Written at the hands of another. The words cut through me as they sink further into my flesh. With each bar of his lyrics i fall deeper into my sadness. Tareing my heart to shreds as each thought sets it cold grasp on my emptyness. As he vocalize's his thoughts through the speakers i find each one to be a constant reminder of my own. Shared tragedies connect us in ways no one will ever see. As if spoken directly for me alone i hear his words. One by one they cause me to drop tear after tear. Nothing is as disheartening as feeling alone in a world of so meny. I wish upon every star in the sky my thoughts would just end. Vanish into thin air. Let them be blown accrossed time everlasting. Shattered like the void space in my chest where my heart did once reside.
