A Symphony of discarnate howls and devilish laughter
Drowning out the insufferable silence that is omnipresent
The goosebumps seemingly blissful
For it shows we still feel the chill

The drowning sounds slowly fade
Until the beating of our hearts is all that remains
Pupils dilate as we realize we are abandoned
By even the thumping that kept away the insufferable silence

Seeming calm, yet dancing on ripples
A tiny splash distorts it all
How long can this illusion last?

A pure white road, leading to an oasis
Torn down by a passing breeze
How long can this illusion last?

A silent meadow, untainted by others
Drowned out by intrusive thoughts
How long can this illusion last?

A worn out mirror with stains and cracks
A stiff smile forever lingering in the reflection
How long can this illusion last?
