boom!
There I was, jaded... melodramatic....
fate was tempted when friends became enemies
when foes became ghastly shadows of anguish
I lived in a fortress of empty glass bottles
binge on the wine of our saviour
whose blood stains the alter?
where I fell upon my knees
before my  retrospect,
before the reflection of desolation
that filled my restless eyes.
slowly my tomorrow filled with hope
rivers of love pulsed through my veins
my hands could grasp beauty
my tongue could taste the smoke upon your breath
it was you
the one who found me at the end
who pulled me out of the carnage
