I Am Not Real
My soul is empty.
My heart aches for envy
Of those whose thoughts,
Emotions and feelings
Are still their own.
Are still real.
I am not real.
I am dessicated.
Like the fly
Whose corpse is just a shell,
Whose insides have run dry,
Under the spider's spell.
My chest is empty.
My tongue searches,
My fingers tap
For something to say.
Some way
To cry when tears run
Dry.
I am not real.
For if I were real,
I would feel.
