~
Madness I fear will be the death of me
Consumed by the visions I can’t see
The seconds tick then nevermore
Till striking back as before
~
Each a check of our resolve
Chipping away as hands revolve
Digging holes to make a mound
Stood atop but gained no ground
~
Vistas grown, views confined
Points made with pieces of mind
Scattered thought eludes the pen
The gates of hell burst open again
~
Blackness surrounds the flame within
Awaiting the battles to begin
The angel of darkness hangs overhead
Above the light that swallows her dead
~
Mountains whither, canyons fill
All in time, time will kill
Consumed in shadows of mortality
Death I fear is the madness in me
