once i watched the world in wonder
now i wonder when the world will end
the frivolities of mortal men
are immune to me
i've turned the bend
to wander on this endless range
is it any wonder
time doesn't mean a thing
i've forgotten the true magic
of songbirds when they sing ...
I listen to my cd's
but it is not the same
another bird
another track
another name ...
... all meaningless
the night makes sounds
..uncheery
yes, once i watched the world with wonder
held my breath...
theses days i slumber
and dream of death
amidst hell's thunder
is it any wonder
i am so cold
is it any wonder
my spirit wanders bold ...
i exist
to take
to eat ...
i'm a monstrous mistake
or am i...?
something moves within this
cavernous place a soul once dwelt
do i feel
or have i felt ...
now retaining only a residual memory?
this riddle puzzles me
is it any wonder
my tears have ceased to flood
is it any wonder
i only care for blood
i lost the life i once led
because i walk the walk of the undead

This was a good write. But must say honestly I did get some what bored while reading it. But it's just me. My twin sis read it so I'll let her leave you her fave part.
