Echoes

It’s

 

Not a token drawn around the neck, but

 

A

 

Jewel upon the finger that will forever dream

 

Sad

 

Memorys branded into the very tissues; a

 

Thing

 

Made to torment the mind until the day comes

 

When

 

Our earthly mother calls us.

 

The

 

Fruits of our nature dry a bond that's

 

Only

 

Broken by the lord himself. My cries, the

 

Sounds

 

of Hades in the pounding of my death

 

Are

 

scarabs that peel the skin away in

 

Footsteps

 

Treading across my soul, leaving scars

 

Of

 

Which I may never again love.

 

The

 

Thorns grow in craters of damages

 

One

 

Has, with no way back; leave

 

You

 

Without the means to help and cannot

 

Love

 

without something in return.

 

Walking

 

out will not chase me

 

away
