By Dwindling Light of Melted Wax

by Bedwyr Mclean - Leo

By dwindling light of melted max
I spend my wasted time
Seeking that which lies within
My twisted, haunted mind
An empty glass, my only friend
My only friend now lucid
Cemetary all I lack

The crutch inside his lungs
Betrayal, broken vow
Old comrade, help me stand now
How many marble rungs

Amid the plague of silver screens
Tread now this ancient path
Flowing ink and syllables
Defines my feeble art
Resistance overshadows all
And I am forced to struggle
Tasks undone leave broken dreams

Insistence of the blood
Demands release of pain
Over all fast powder reigns
Journey through the knotwork
