Searching The Darkened Skies

Fate has demanded the sentient
To carve a piece in time
All resistance is felt from the consciousness
The constancy failing in jest.

Emptiness woven, I peer beyond the ending
You're searching the darkened skies for signs of life, the somber lie that has paralyzed
As memories flash with searing pain
The echoing of death winds repeating again
The vanishing point has been left in the wake of that year – the year that truly changed it all.

Forever changing all.

Levelling all defences down – I falter like withering leaves
Clandestine grave of departed youth
Body and soul set to the dying time
Becoming one with the season – becoming the fall.

The honour – the martyr
Made to never change
Disengage the ending
Laid to rest.

This pain seems never ending
As you stare into the depths of my heart
Do you see what you came looking for?
For I am no longer there
You'll find that existence is fleeting as you stare into the depths of my soul
An existence withheld, for it was never there.
