I wrote a symphony once
in the dying light of my mind.
It was beautiful,
brought tears to my eyes.
The profoundness led me through corridors,
there I was lost in madness.
Enveloped in my experience
onward I traveled.
Tearing at my flesh, talons pierce me.
Darkness, my friend, always there
destroying mind and body.
Tainting my soul, its poison,
Slithers through my veins.
Halted at the edge of my journey
This evil holds my heart hostage
grasping harder and harder
light is clear, yet I am stone.
Pride destroyed, beaten
by fiendish devotions.
Door closes, pain paralyzes.
My humanity shatters like glass
Leaving reflections behind permanently.
