Desperation

Desperation

I crave the sustenance that is sleep

As my mind wanders and wanders

Through endless fields of excitement and rage

Time rips through my heart and soul

Feeding on what is mine; my own

Giving me reason to end this atrocity

The soul stops. It stares.

Stares into the dead eyes of eternity

Killed by none other than time itself

Enraged by what it sees

It’s beautiful creation, deep in the ground

No one can see like me

No one can breath like me

No one can fight like me

Step into the deep

Step into the field of yesterday

Give time a reason to have mercy

Mercy on our souls

Red

Red as blood

Red as wine

Blocks our senses

Feeds our minds

A journey into tomorrow

A journey into the night

Time slips back

Time glows bright

Keeps us on our feet

Only to push us down

Down

Into the pit

The pit of night

Dreams lead us to the end

The end of the glow

A golden glow

A golden mind grows within the weary

And steel resides within the strong

Pain inflicts us all

‘Tis a rose thorn which starts the fall

The fall of the many

The fall of the witch

The witch in which crafted time

The very same time which bleeds us

Which kills us

Which mends us

And

Which gives us

Security

Slipping down the slope

A slope with few obstacles

Not a cut

Not a bruise

Not even a scratch

Time slips back

Time glows bright

Drips sorrow through its eyes

It leaves puddles

Puddles and puddles of sadness

Sadness that never leaves

Sadness that never weakens

Melt

Melt away the fear

Melt the glass

That keeps us

From our love

That drips

Into our lives

Into our souls

Never to survive
