The people remain silent
Piercing stares
"What have I done?"
This was neither the high road
Nor was it the low road
For I took the wrong road
The metal and plastic hit the floor
Clank
The pool gets larger
"Who was he?"
His children will be weeping
His wife will break down
What will come of them?
What will come of me?
Alas, I did this of my own free will
The people remain silent
Time slows
Recollections
Recollections of the bad things
Recollections of the good things
These things I will never have again
For I avoided the high road
Bypassed the low road
And I took the wrong road
The puddle grows
My eyes water up
Tears flow
"What have I done?"
The people remain silent.
Walking around town
Feet achin'
Breath seen by all who may still be awake
The sun has taken its slumber
But he shall not
For he is cursed to walk the night
Unable to sleep
Unable to dream
Doomed eternally
For he is The Insomniac
Slumber eludes him
The night is his time
His time to shine
To be the sun in the night
For he is The Insomniac
Let me see
Your internal
Wounds
So I may
Heal them
As you
Are healing mine.
Lying awake
Eyes glazed
High
Music playing
Vision blurring
High
Hunger strikes
Fighting it
I am high
The creatures came out of nowhere
Their faces horrid
The natives lived in fear
For the creatures knew only one thing
Destruction
ALL THINGS MUST GO!
The creatures wander around
Replacing the natives with stone and metal
The natives want to run
They cant
Fear stricken
Frozen in place
The creatures are here
Destroy, destroy, destroy
The creatures are here
Their faces horrid
Two eyes the size of quarters
A nose
A mouth
The natives live in fear
The creatures fill the air with toxic gas
The creatures fill the ground with poison
The creatures take over
Creating things to destroy others
The circle goes on
The natives live in fear
The creatures create to destroy
Create, destroy
Create, Destroy
Destroy, destroy, destroy
The creatures go by many names
The creatures go by one name
They go by the name Human
The natives fear the Human
The natives cant move
For their roots are deep
Deep in the ground
They get destroyed
Petal by petal
Leaf by leaf
They get destroyed
The creatures have gotten taken over.
