I wake only to find myself still trapped in this nightmare
Surrounded by echoes of the past
Times once buried just beneath the surface
Guilt is a terrible thing
It will claw you from the inside
The air is too thin to breathe
How do people go about their life when they are screaming?
The quiet is the hardest part
Feelings are such powerful things
Pain melts into oblivion and I am left numb
Night comes whether we are awake or dreaming
Death is relentless
It claws at us
If it manages to grasp us, it won’t let go
The river of death flows passed me
Sometimes life is just a tragedy to be endured
A forlorn attempt to escape
Let go or be dragged
To the darkest depths unimaginable
