Petrified
Lost in a cocoon of my design
I stare into the dark
My eye wary of teary drops
Nightly clouds clad together
Floating in the ocean above
Raise a war cry of thunder
A reminder of another world
Another existence I couldn't fathom
Silently, fear crept up
Man the pawn, X the player
Pawns die with each move
But no, not this time
