On Becoming Soulless

Awake, in the
Midnight of the morning,
Chilled and shaking, conscious
Only of reflecting black,
Receding walls. 
Never before have I
Felt so small. 

If there was one of
Whom to ask, I'd set
Before them but one task:
To listen and
Internalise
This analogy: 
     "Before I woke I must've given
      birth, so explaining 'way my
      inner hollow. Yet of even more
      import: was that I bore truly
      mine own stillborn soul?"

Vampyr-like, I embrace the dark,
Mirror for an inhuman state but,
Mirrors I have learned to hate, that
Lie with images of a carapace. 
No hint there of cracks or gaps
Or the true state of being a
Dead
Man
Walking.
