A quick flash of distorted images
converge upon my mind.
Subtle remiders of faded passions
lost long ago in time.
Bitterness creeps slowly in
as illusions pass my eyes.
Searching deep within myself
I read between the lines.
I see despair where hope is shown.
I glimpse the pain caused when alone.
Life is but a cruel deception
caused by a twist of fate.
The world, evil since its conception,
nurtures the seed of hate.
Unending sorrow shall be endured,
insanity is a likely end.
Wrenched from within comes my greatest fear,
a result I can't quite comprehend.
Compassion is lost amongst the world
where cruelty rests its head.
Know the truth, there's but one escape
oblivion in death. |
