Poem
The night is growing colder and your body feels older than it should And you’d pack up your brains and all that remains and escape if you could You are a broken man dying in a house of black What little hope you’ve had got taken last night Too severed and weak to put up any fight Caught in this terminal between life and death You’re mind is all torn and your body all worn and you’re too gone to think Cold begins to blur and thoughts begin to slur and you’re starting to sink The sky is blackened out, the clouds shattered about, reminesce of reality fade Infinite space dissloves you from consciousness and the trials of hell that you wade You’d just like to scream but so it does seem you still cannot speak Remembering dreams you cannot redeem with a spirit so weak Caught in this terminal between life and death Your brother is long dead and his ghost haunts your head Watching him crawl up your walls and into your bed You’re starting to see that you really are alone This feeling of solitude has gradually grown You’re crying out your blood and you’re coughing up mud Your tears turn to scud and your mind begins to flood Caught in this terminal between life and death Sometimes you cannot take what you’ve become But the misery and suffering cannot be undone No matter where you run you will simply not be alone Your entity follows you to every place you call home Drawing you closer and closer to remind you that you’re still undeserving Whispering memories of the youth and happiness you've been long preserving Caught in this terminal between life and death (Stuck inside the water shed next to the river in the old painting hanging in the coffee shop downtown) You find yourself looking out of a picture frame Fantasizing about life if you weren't the same Awaiting your judgement day Awaiting to leave the grey Awaiting your lost world to take you Remembering the dreams you've slept through Awaiting your judgement day Awaiting to leave the grey Awaiting your lost dreams to wake you Caught in this terminal between life and death
