Descending the Shadows

I see the sun
begin to rise.
And I'm blinded too.
I've seen the world
through jaded eyes.
That I'm crying through.
I watch the
darkness hypnotize,
& I can't fight it.
Hold On I'm falling
Can't breathe anymore.
As an ocean has opened
(These scars just
need to heal over)
Caress the needle prick
in my eye.
The tears fell like rain,
I've rode the phoenix
as she glides.
And I've gone insane
I've seen deaths light.
Hold on I'm falling,
can't breathe... breathe...
Colder and colder
Just hold onto me
Sitting in the empty black
The last slivers of
dusk have passed
Accept the dawn
to ease the fear.
One day I will not be here.
Death she comes
and with her thread
Upon me ties
a mask for dead.
Its tears of blood
begin to seep
And bleed the sky.
Descend the shadows tonight
Death shines her golden light
Across a blackened sky
Ashen clouds-
obscure my brain.
Doubts begin-
to turn to shame.
Insecureness-
tears at bliss.
I hate me-
for this weakness.
Faith drives me-
to carry on.
& take the road
less travelled on.
Resentment swallowed
my means
to drown the poison down.
The shades of night descend
The bell tolls on
as the rain comes down
On my face, the drops,
they sound
I slowly melt into grey abyss
Depression & her endless kiss.
I hope to feel the life again.
End the numbness, living in,
I sit in silence, deaf to all.
My demons pull me
into the hole
To dance with leaches that drink my soul
The violins play
the endless song
From hearts broken everlong
(Now, I just can't look
you in the eye.
Because I don't
want you to see
All the damage I have inside.
I've been gone for so long)
