Screaming
Souls
Sanity
begging for relief
Sitting
in obscurity,
Listening
to emptiness…
Time
passes… memories fade
Into
the unfamiliar, silence stirring
Amidst
the din of desolation…
Demons
in the sky hide behind promises,
Their
breath dark, wayward hours stand
Still
in awkwardness…
Man
waiting for the moment
In
the grayness of tarnished hours to
Find
reality…
Peace
dissolved in crimson waves…
Stillness
overcome by screaming souls
Searching
for a leader...
