Each day drags on like generations

I am alone in my head and for eternity

The regular sense of modern irritation

Why is there so little left of me?


Hollow in my heart

And stranded in my soul

My father and I, torn apart

My time had taken his toll


Now I write, and think of the dreams

Afraid i've drifted too far

But when your both on different teams

One must bear the scar


So I brought a blade to my wrist, and wished

That beyond the farthest of the dying light

My sense of dread would be anguished

Allowing me to truly fight


The warrior I am has left me,

For I am no longer strong

No sense of protection or safety

He always says i'm wrong


But if one speaks the mind

And the other the soul

Why may neither be kind

I'm told i'm ungrateful


But material means nothing

When you are acquainted as a foul

"It's better than not having something"

Does that not make you some tool?


Some dreaded idea drifting among the crowds

Walking away from everyone you've ever met

You know the people have their doubts

But you've got a plan set


No weapons drawn, nor pictures painted

But rather a simplistic tactic

Draw the light out of all that's tainted

And let it take you down with it


You could have been spared,

but no one cared

Someone to see this theft,

But now there's nothing left  

You've reached the end of published parts.
