A starless night blessed above my head
Darkness to hide the tears I’ve shed
My shadow gone for the bitter time being
Flown away, no longer present for the seeing

Piercing pupils black like black holes
No reflection to be seen, no sight foretold
My surrounding bleeds colours till dark
Green leaves now deeper, much like the bark

Just when you think you can feel this cold night
The rain gently sprinkles with small numbing bites
Raped by the wind that sends chills through your flesh
Whistling through cracks like a ghost once possessed

Involuntary beads of sweat make their journey
Down your cheek, to your lips that are turning
Into a peaceful smile that lasts but one moment
Then stolen by vivid memories of past torment

A forest of glum thoughts and brisk new bled blood
Death-seeking daffodils and crimson rose buds
Trapped in one place, one time, one emotion
Being endlessly engulfed by a depressing ocean

If I could tread a different path, I would
I’d wash these footsteps if only I could
If the sun ever rises, I’ll let death open it’s doors
So I can walk through the gates to life’s encore
