10...
Lost amongst the world...
A single soul wanders...
One along with the many
unknown
Kept silent by fear
Tears are hidden within
the lines, “I'm okay...”
The mind slips...
Forgetting to allow the
sunlight in
Confusion should not be
a life sentence
The senses fight
Until they numb...
9...
Cast out from that
tender embrace
Hope falls like dew
upon the grass
Barely clinging on
It's strange how
quickly emotions turn
Where does the
responsibility of understanding lie?
The torment of illusion
To be hurt and broken
Old scars bleed
Faith breaks...
8...
Band from the safety of
home
The bright stars above
seem to be the only thing to pierce through the pitch-black darkness
As words fail..
Abandonment calls
A false sense of being
embraces
All those things best
left untouched
But the soul cannot
help itself
To reach out...
7...
Blame is a hazed recall
To that exact point and
time
When yesterday was
suppose to be the better day
And tomorrow was a
promise made
Until these moments...
Tears glisten upon the
moonlight
Shadows of the sleeping
world bear silent witness
6...
Hands reach...
This conclusion almost
complete
Breath runs cold
As consequences
wonder...
The early hours of the
morning stare down the countdown
Maybe one day an
understanding could have been reached
5...
All that once was known
Has shattered the being
to the core...
Reality is not this
Even though every
moment is now...
The final fight was the
greatest battle never won...
4...
Soundless fear passes
Whispered pieces of
prayer
All now fleeting
Conviction is complete
3..
Tears pour out
Fingers hold
Eyes close
2...
This irrevocable task
cannot be undone...
While growing pools of
red life ink stain the ground...
1..
Zero hour has come to
pass...
