Depressions Last Breath
Blood staining shimmers
flow out behind
crack in my heart
break out in mime
Crystalline echos
bells did toll tell
darkness has risen
slaughter reigns hell
Split as it soared
crashed into soul
memories been bleed
stories be told
Burning through temples
ripped out of tombs
shrine that was body
now lays in ruin
Silent pleas reaching
strummed out by ten
streaming in whispers
prayers to the wind
Nights rocking earth
shaking the lean
black dog is birthed
all this unseen
Dawn is closing
breaking with breath
grasping be heard
depression’s little death
Slowing down time
raking through flames
mirrored in lethargy
Sleep my soul claimed
