Into the Dust

Deep in the shadows A past is written. Deep in the shadows A future is dimmed. Upon those who walk into the light Upon those who pull off a fight Upon those who think they have any right Deep, in the shadows One is most forgotten. One who will give their all Defend those unworthy and those noble. Deep into hatred Forced upon many Given in on behalf of all This one child, Will damned us all. Deep in the shadows The child's hatred burns Red eyes so bright The moon lingers at night A child's urge for revenge The dark deeds and evil ways All poured into a young child's brain. A setting example From the parents who all claimed They would love their child But, Deep in the shadows A future is dimmed. For, Deep in the shadows A child's present was poorly written. And all the while Deep deep deep in the cold dark Uncharted shadows A past, can never be forgotten.

A fading, a passing...this was painfully intense & twisted. Tremendous work here.
