Epilogue in Scarlet
Blood drips on paper like redundant drum beats.
Rat-tat-tat Rat-tat-tat.
I am using those drops in pace
to count down seconds for me to calm down.
Slowly... ever so slowly...
my pulse begins to settle.
My consciousness begins to flow
like the trail of scarlet on the floor.
then... I picture you
as if you wither and slither like blood.
Rat-tat-tat......
Like blood, you are crimson.
Like blood, you stain.
Like blood...
Like mud...
Like.....

Sanity's Eclipse
Fatespinner's wishing for destiny's repose-
a dreamer struggling to wake.
The butcher's tears on a sea of blood-
myriads of black, grey and white.
Wordless screams searing bone,
despotic mind dictating false-
As cold as the blazing noon,
like light on ever night.
Welcome to life.
Fueld By Tears 3
as i sit in the dimness of twilight
and take in the sounds of my solitude
shadows from a not so distant past linger
and hover before me like dust clouds.
it drives me to the brink
it keeps me awake
it churns and burns
the web of lies is drawn taut.
i am blanketed in sorrow
dragged down by the weight of failure
consumed by the unending need
to escape the clutches of betrayal.
it feeds my nights
it steals my tomorrows
it stains my smiles
the scars will always throb.
as dawn painstakingly approaches
and the darkness slowly recedes
the midnight in my heart remains
the chemical fuels my vengeance.
it flames my thoughts
it takes me closer
sometimes the only way
to move forward
is to take a step back.
