The walls I've built around me are now becoming taller and indestructible. The light of day that once shown down on me is now barricaded out and darkness reigns supreme. My only friend is a lifeless flame, dancing wildly in the bloodmoon night and caressing my eyes, for it knows my pain well. I cover my head as the rain falls, destroying the castles of time's sand around me and desecrating my soul and all it fantasized about through my utterly dismayed life. My face is red, as are my bloodshot eyes from the tears that have defiled my dreams and shattered the wings of angel's hope. The promise of a new day won't come soon enough for me, because my soul is beginning to fall apart and down this endless spiral. The questions that were finally answered sprouted new and more densely destructive ones, leaving me deeper then before that I have ever been. To be saved would be a blessing, but for now I continue down this path that will surely destroy my being of mind, heart, and soul. Again I look to the heavens that seem so barren, yet full of life. Then I look inside and witness the same. I am so full of life yet barren as a snow covered field. It saddens me to realize that this is how it will always be...Birth sign: Aries
