As we sit, take our seats in the banquet hall, everyone rushes to be the first to feast, while we’re left choking on the past. Does no one hear the wind, wailing against the stained glass? Silver goblets raised in mock celebration, filled with the essence that I poured. Gleeful toasts echo against fractured stone, laughter filling the banquet hall. Does no one see the blood, dripping down these chains? A little too late, they finally look around. The stained glass has cracked, its stories bleeding out onto the marble floor. The drapes now hang in tatters, lace left ripped in shreds. Is this what you wanted? The desecration of this citadel? As walls begin to tremble, pillars groan under the weight of decay, no one stays to help. They run. Feet that once stood in reverence trample the sacred, careless, unburdened. But I remain. Veins of frost cover the walls, the ceiling yawns open, snuffing out the light, and I cannot move. Not as the glimmering chandeliers fall, not as the stone gives way beneath me, not as the ruins cave in. As the winter chill creeps in, the dust now settles. Within the silence of these hallowed grounds, the echoes of laughter now lost. As I watch from beyond. A ghost draped in apathy, watching the remnants of me buried, watching the last echoes of my warmth fade into cold ash. Wondering if I will ever rise back from the ashes. No hands reach into the wreckage. No voices call my name. No one mourns. And maybe they never will.

The Citadel Of Light
You feel like a Dream, Whom i daydream, Every night with Moonbeam.. Clear i tell, Bound by your Spell, Yes i fell, For your deep eyes citadel.. I know you know, Why don't you show, At least say NO, Before my hopes grow.. But you just a dream, Which will end by outdream..

Crush
Beneath the panning sky of brightest blue As the city awakes to a sun or two. Morning breeze, a wind aloft, Dreamers leave their slumber to rise above. This town saw, yesterday, its longest night, History made in a little child's plight. Running from life, as cruel as can be, A citadel towers over the common folk as a witness to his story. Drawn from safety, from his, nest he wandered too far, As he innocently walked into a wicked man's trap. Cautious glances couldn't save his life, In the night, all they heard was his desperate cries. A predator out on the loose preying on the lamb. Silent whispers with the wind blows with might. Now, as the morning sun awakens this town's life, The citadel at the centre begs to be heard on the events of the previous night.
