Resume’

This world has
no use for
My light,
Exhuming fear-
Enticing those
Darkened footsteps
Into a realm
Unspoken,
Unfathomable-
Lest ye be spirit,
Or myself-
Creeping along
Forest floors
Chasing moonlight,
Feeling the icy
Fingers claw
At thy sanity-
A journey home
‘Tis not within
The grasp of
These demons,
Instead bringing
Blackest thoughts
Yesterday
Could not
Erase…
Aye,
These tombstones
Are etched-
Reading each
One,
Losing myself
Within each
Dash-
I wonder,
Why this can’t
Be me-
I hear it isn’t
My time,
The voices
reminding
Whilst tongues
Wag in
Indifference–
Do they not
Know I am
As one
With
Their
Destiny…

Those shadows
Move,
Carrying me
Back to
The gate mine
Own demise
Crept into-
But I shan’t
Leave,
This silence
Becomes
Me…
