Blackout

Blackout

 In the darkness of the pupil
 fragments of chaos float
 like a life belt in a stormy sea
 close enough
 but at the same time
 So far away
 An eternal fight without a winner
 Eyes never lie
 Shadows sleep in them
 and when I fall
 and when I'm not in control
 They are my home

 But at this dead time of the night
 Leaden clouds hide the moon
 doing again
 that Shadowhunter
 feels like prey
 When right became wrong
 I do not know
 There must be something in that darkness
 Isn't that a twisted show
 with long established roles,
 They say "Fate" under their breath
 When the sky is collapsing
 they say
  Better pray
 Always the same..
  BUT
  You can't blame the blackout
 what you don't know
  what are you
 Hunter or Hunting
 Or both
