Nothing Left to Save

I can sink no further into this depressive abyss,
As I find no rational explanation in this.
It�s slipping away from me with all my hopes�
Tugging on my throat like a thorn-bush rope.

Save you, save me, nothing left to save,
Not even that joyous moment I desperately crave.
Bleached black with hate as I stare into their souls�
Not hearts, no minds, just passionless holes.

Simple to realize, yet so rarely contained;
Hate blocked love and only torment remained.
I searched for my love, and found myself a slave�
Freeing myself once more, but there�s nothing left to save.
