Sweetest Nightmares: the Poem

   Overwhelmed, sadness of these many destructive years
press the walls 'til they break. Loneliness weighing heavier
than the chains that bind us here. Need a little room to breathe,
a little space to spread these weakened wings.
   The darkness is coming, rising like the heat. It sears the
lungs, so you can't breathe. Covers everything in those painful
waves. It eviscerates everything, blinding and binding.
Separates bone from marrow, come darkened sky.
   Shattered by the black, the world stands back. Let the
bastard come, life is done. Caught between Earth and sky.
Crushed glass falls, let it take the mind. The dark is coming,
no time to hide. Stand and let it come, let it wash over me.
   Cross its path, lightning strike. Everything is broken,
the darkness biting down to the soul. Once bitten, never to
heal, fester and rot. Carrion drifts on the wind, fill the senses,
take it in. Ride the wave, let it surge 'neath this breakable form.
   Darkness come, erase this mind, let the insanity run free.
Spread these broken wings, ease the pain and be taken.
Eviscerated, shattered and broken. My bones will dry, the
soul forgotten inside. Singers of death, play my song.
   Let Me Bleed.
