I close my eyes
Sleep won’t come
Nightmares awaken
Taste of a past life
Compass draws circles
With charcoal on earth’s tabletop
Closed and dark
Like a skull in a pact with…
Sharp pain cleaves the soul
Like lightning joining two poles
Blood drips on the foul signature
How far do the tentacles of betrayal reach?
Eyes tied with darkness terrify
Whispers heard: trust, trust
As we do not trust you
The heart died in silence, devoid of sorrow
The soul fought, escaped the abyss
God, you forgave me
You condemned me to exile
But will I ever forgive myself?
Circles of lies grow like walls
They do not protect from the cold
Nor shield from the wind
They kill the heart and cast the soul into darkness
Have you ever seen sadness?
Then search for it where the world debates joy.
I close my eyes…
And tears flow straight, calmly
Pulled from the abyss
Still over the precipice
