The Light on the Dark Side of Me

by Iniquity of the Mind - Not entered

O’er the horizon of discolored beauty
and impassive desires
I can see the break of a new day
the start of an old beginning
and the end of a fallen admiration
yet nothing seems different

I run my hands across the crystalline lake
staring into it’s endless abyss
my reflection blurred by the tiny ripples
as my fingers dip into it’s coolness
my face
dirty with unfaithfulness
shines brightly in the water bellow
but I know not who stares back at me

My eyes close as the rain begins anew
clouds begin to circle above
churning in the dead of night
thunder rolls in the distance
while the sky is illuminated with fulguration

So this is what it feels like to be alive
it feels no different then being dead inside
where is the promises that came with lust?
Where is the desire that was sworn to me?
Has happiness shown it’s unholy light
the light that brings men to their knees
and builds those who weep to their feet
has it been shown unto me this autumn eve?
For I am on my knees
yet have not arisen to grasp hold of tomorrow
nor to discourage today
or even to treasure the past
will I live to tell the secrets that I know now?
Forgiveness is a torrent of mistrust
but what is left to believe in
when nothing real seems fake once more?
I know not what inevitable circumstances await me
but as for my dreams
they shall burn inside of me
nevermore
