Sunset

Sun sets
And the seas 
Grasp bloody
Lost 
I have become 
In an ocean of deceit
Sunrise 
And the seas
Reflect gruesome

Around
I have found
Simple pleasures 
To sweep me
From my feet 
Tremble 
To do so is common
React 
The reflex 
That emotions summon
Outcast, untouchable
Do you see yourselves
The sound of golden bells
Simply cease to exist
From depths to never  pierce
The corner 
Of every mans eyes 
I remain 
A tainted beast 
Was it my stubbornness 
That drew toward fate
Gruesome and ill
Or was it my failure
To adapt to suffering
Despite being able to feel
