Dawn awakening the sands of time
Purposeful and intent I search for my crime
Walking along the shore I abandon all of me
We line up to see the end but all fall short
I abandon all love and all that I have needed
Our lives now silenced
Our dreams now shattered
Our needs never to be appeased
Falling into my demise I let go of all understanding
The winds of time take their toll on my sanity
The breeze will be my release
Infinite angels wrap our wounds
Disguised demons hold our hands
Yet in the end dust returns to dust

I liked this. The subtly placed repetition lines "our lives..." our dreams..." "our needs..." worked well I think.
The final line was a spring back to reality; quite cleverly placed. Thanks for entering.
