the longest slumber...

My head hits the pillow
Eyes already glazed
I’m drifting into another world
My mind is fully dazed

Black eyes of the past
Pull emotions to my face
As the hands of time turn around
With hauntingly dark grace

Memories that have stayed
From ecstasy to severe pain
Fly by in numb oblivion
There is nothing left to gain

One last look at a lie
And again, I hear the dark angels call
Their voices lined with seducing evil
“Come, it’s time to take the fall…”

I succumb to sadistic freedom
Wrong, yet the moment is right
The weapon stains a pure white sheet
As I give in without a fight

The angels are suddenly transformed
Beady raven eyes are all that’s left
Feasting upon the wealth of another soul
This one being an easy theft

An evil laugh fills the air
“You gave up…cowardice dwells within…”
Words ring through the vacuum filled space
I realize the truth to my sin

The deceptive angels have taken my soul
It’s too late to have regrets
I scream as the gates of the underworld open
And I re-awaken in an era of death…
