In Darkness I Survived'
'In Darkness I Survived'
A darkened silhoutte
an apparition of rage
or
was it despair
I feel this pain coursing through tattered veins
my cries unheard
is that fair
a violent whisper screaming
terrible things inside my head
like bad dreams
those
eerie echos
I so often heard
were voices that are dead
a memory from before
where I was abandoned
crying with tears on the floor
wondering why
I felt so alone
the love taken from a man
who has already lost too much
my ashen bones tremble
and ache
Tell me God
What will it take
To see this storm of misery fade
the inner chaos is often familiar
the madness reigns
before I join a vacant table for dinner
I feel this rage
seldomly quoted a winner
in violence I know
to silence a screaming whisper
echoing let there be blood flow
storming
like
clouds of pain
tears bleed eternal
as
I am falling
to darkness a place I call insane
Will that be my atonement
an early grave
fearing the unknown
or
will I find my strength to overcome this apocalyptic rain
with my Queen standing aside my Throne...
