The nights are kind For they let me drift off Into a deep slumber In pitiless daylight I ponder on the not happened yet The flood of thought Deadens my soul Envy taints it I Linger in the shadows Perpetuating the stain Of my ascendants Volition is an illusion The silence of my own silence savagely cuts like a warrior’s machete Dismembering the remnants of my authentic self The design of my misfortune Was perfectly orchestrated by the ingenuity of diablo Distress inhabits the catacombs of my mind Strangling on the lasso of consequence Perpetually atoning for unknown sins From another lifetime. Thunderous footsteps of wolves Gathering at my feet Nourish my fear The demons of recent past are screeching Outside my door That which plagues, devours The blood I lost grew cold As have I.

A darker state of mind
The nights are kind For they let me drift off Into a deep slumber In pitiless daylight I ponder on the not happened yet The flood of thought Deadens my soul Envy taints it I Linger in the shadows Perpetuating the stain Of my ascendants Volition is an illusion The silence of my own silence savagely cuts like a warrior’s machete Dismembering the remnants of my authentic self The design of my misfortune Was perfectly orchestrated by the ingenuity of diablo Distress inhabits the catacombs of my mind Strangling on the lasso of consequence Perpetually atoning for unknown sins From another lifetime. Thunderous footsteps of wolves Gathering at my feet Nourish my fear The demons of recent past are screeching Outside my door That which plagues, devours The blood I lost grew cold As have I.
Thanks to Ernest/DedPoet for giving me the the title "A darker state of mind" which I built on... well attempted to.
