That Which Torments Me
In a dream
bound and broken.
Jaded by failure
blinded by the greed
of a mad-man.
Blackened skies surround
engulfing my brain,
selling me short of life.
Becoming a distant memory.
Where do I go from here?
Tripping forward and
falling backwards.
Frozen by fear
Twisting my fate
in your hands.
Awakened by visions
dancing throughout
my unbalanced mind.
Am I awake or asleep?
I can not tell.
This mass of destruction
vandalized by blood.
Baptized in tears.
Masses lay abound.
Sadness all around.
The wounds of
the innocent play
into my mind.
Their blood stained
upon my hands.
The stench of stale death
engulfs upon my senses.
Bodies lay scattered
and blood flowing
the color crimson.
In the darkness
the shadows conceal
the wicked truth
of my evil deeds.
Only to reveal....
That which torments me.
