Sanctuary

Rest in the sanctuary The sanctuary of stillness within cold Frames of stained glass windows Shining a dim light Illuminating an altar of sacrifice Dead trees glisten with tear drops Falling outside the window Cascading leaves fly inside Beautifully melting to wax as I lie On the altar dying for nothing Eyes like glass shattering blind bones Empty void of sadness playing over and over on an old muffled radio distorted Waves move through the sanctuary walls I'm a mannequin Somebody paint me Haunted dolls are gazing with eyes Ever so cold and lifeless Enough to slither into nightmares at dawn Waking to this pain again Over and over Animating at the darkest hours Breathing down your shoulder as you Walk down an endless hallway into nothingness Synthetic faces Dead places Hollow cases
