Bleak the day and grey the sky
A future torn over another lie,
With head lost at guillotine
Blade so sharp, yet edge unseen.
Pray for night and with darkness meld --
welcoming another blackened world,
empty and sightless hidden deep
Tears and fears locked in the keep.
Dried the life crunching under feet,
All that lived slowing to a creep.
The smell of earth nearing closer still,
Resting nose upon the sill.
Drip, drip dripping down the pane,
Only to raise and turn against the grain.
Shifting set to bend the mind,
Breaking them all, one at a time.
Once a Child and twice a God
Unrecognized for what it was.
A devil in another skin --
Ignorance the final sin.
Attention spent on avoiding truth
Entertaining thought of misspent youth.
You swore aloud a thousand times,
Guilty of a billion crimes.
Silently querying and holding court,
To highest bidder to be bought.
A nudge there and a hidden guide,
Always present and along for the ride.
You know all I know and more then that,
An endless stream of pointless chat.
Fading vision and the blind won't see,
Here you are - replacing me.
