May 2015
The inferno, the chaos
It's coming
These memories flooding
Into my head
These thoughts, overwhelming
Gradually destroying
The sanity I have left
All this because of what I've said

The crying, the howling
I can hear them too well
There's no time for trying
They're impossible to repel

The tears, they fall
So did my hope
It's over, after all
Those times of joy
Not one worth to recall

Then, footsteps resound
Amidst the killing silence outside
Peace, I found
As gentle hands wiped my tears
Still, I did not know
Whether to rejoice
Or to listen to that voice

'Choose wisely' were the words
That woman left, unheard
Until now, as my lips trembled
And there I remembered
This place was where I promised
That although all I have has vanished
I swore, I'd try not to leave things unfinished

Ignore the voice
It is your choice
The thing you sought
Cannot be bought

The inferno, the chaos
It's coming
These memories flooding
I hold on to them tightly
Making sure I'm not forgetting
The promise I made
To the angel within
I am afraid
Yet strong, unrelenting
