acute, this pain that grips me
alone I am again
this world about me is ceaseless
interminable it yells my cold name
lingering emptiness cobwebs my nerves
I am a fierce blend of chivalry and nuance
heaped into corners like shadow-less fear
my own heart a blind saviours lance
only me and I know the wealth of this
this peak of an apex where worlds glow
through the clouds and mist we’re longing
for the path that leads these tears to snow
never ending nightmares that terrify
each sleep is a drift into a lonely glade
where the trees call out in whispers
and where all insecurities are made
endgame of subtlety, no enviable task
it warbled its noose to eyes blood red
its catalyst burns a flames etch on my ire
to a death my corpse shall alone lay cold
