"Zero Hour Past"

 

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...
